Check the machine before installing, and keep old shells' mise working

install.sh now stops early, with a clear message, if this isn't 64-bit
Arch, it's run as root, there's no internet, or sudo doesn't work.
system/preflight.sh then asks before going on with too little disk space
or / not on btrfs, and offers to switch another login screen to GDM and
PulseAudio to PipeWire. Keeping another login screen puts GDM in
services-off, so install and update stop failing to enable it; a
migration does the same on existing machines. It says nothing when all
is well, as refresh runs install.sh again.

Intel GPUs also get intel-media-driver for hardware video decoding, with
a migration for existing machines.

The mise migration links ~/.local/bin/mise to /usr/bin/mise instead of
deleting it, so shells opened before the update don't print an error at
every prompt.

3) Enter your password when asked, once at the start. Be patient: it takes a while.
First it checks the machine. It stops if this isn't Arch, if you run it as root, if your user can't use sudo, or if there's no internet. It asks before going on if there's less than about 60 GB free, or if / isn't on btrfs (then there are no snapshots before updates, and only reinstalling Arch with btrfs changes that). If the login screen isn't GNOME's, or sound goes through PulseAudio, it offers to switch to GNOME's login screen and to PipeWire.
4) At the end, it offers to run `configure`, which connects to your Federated Core, sets up backups and signs you in to the AI agents (see "Configure" below). If the install brought in a newer kernel, it asks you to reboot first; run `configure` after the reboot.
5) If something fails, just run the command again. It skips what's already done.

### GPU drivers
The installer adds the Vulkan driver for Intel and AMD GPUs. If there's an NVIDIA GPU and archinstall's proprietary driver wasn't chosen, it installs NVIDIA's driver: the open kernel modules for GTX 16xx / RTX 20xx and newer, or the 580xx legacy driver for older cards back to the GTX 900 series. Reboot afterwards.
The installer adds the Vulkan driver for Intel and AMD GPUs, and Intel's video decoding driver, so videos and calls don't decode on the CPU (AMD's comes with Mesa).
