Log each install and update, and keep only the recent logs
shellcheck / shellcheck (push) Failing after 17s

Each run's output now goes to ~/.local/state/coredesktop/logs/, so what
failed can be read after the terminal is gone. In a terminal, update runs
itself under script(1), so everything it runs still sees a terminal, then
strips color codes and progress redraws from the log; otherwise it uses
tee. install.sh, usually piped into bash, uses tee, and runs configure
straight on the terminal, outside the log. Both name the log when
something fails. 95-cleanup.sh keeps the newest 10 update logs and 3
install logs.

The sudo keepalive loops no longer share the logged output, so their
sleep can't hold the log open after the run ends.
