Replaces #65, which Forgejo closed when the hyprland-editions branch was deleted after #64 merged (it only retargets stacked PRs when the branch is deleted from the PR page). Same branch, same diff, now against main.

Adds niri-noctalia, niri-dms, and their NVIDIA variants on the wm-common base from #64. Niri comes from Fedora proper, installed with weak deps off so its alacritty/fuzzel/waybar/swaylock starter kit stays out; xwayland-satellite covers X11 clients and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome does screencast.

The system-wide /etc/niri/config.kdl is generated at build time from the niri rpm's own default-config.kdl (files/scripts/niri-default-config.sh), swapping in the shell autostart and the Ptyxis/launcher/lock binds. Anchor greps fail the build if upstream renames the lines, so a rebase can't silently ship a dead launcher bind, and upstream keybind changes flow in instead of rotting in a 600-line vendored copy.

The NVIDIA variants additionally bake the niri wiki's VRAM-leak fix: an nvidia application profile setting GLVidHeapReuseRatio=0 for the niri process, system-wide under /etc/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-rc.d.

Not boot-tested yet.

Add the Niri editions with Noctalia and DMS shells ... 0322614ef7

Four more images on the wm-common base the Hyprland editions
introduced: niri-noctalia, niri-dms, and NVIDIA variants. Niri comes
from Fedora proper, installed with weak deps off so the alacritty/
fuzzel/waybar/swaylock starter kit stays out (the shells cover all of
it); xwayland-satellite handles X11 clients and the portal-gnome
backend does screencast. The system-wide /etc/niri/config.kdl is
generated at build time from the rpm's own default-config.kdl with the
shell autostart and launcher/lock binds swapped in, so upstream keybind
changes arrive on rebase instead of rotting in a vendored copy. The
NVIDIA variants also bake the niri wiki's GLVidHeapReuseRatio=0
application profile, which stops the driver's VRAM creep under niri.
