enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 f36d13e371 fix(steamdeck/install): prompt for sudo instead of requiring passwordless
The system-tuning block (UDP buffers, gamepad udev rule, vhci-hcd autoload,
input group) was gated on `sudo -n true` — passwordless sudo — so on a stock
SteamOS box (the deck account needs a password) the whole block was silently
skipped: /dev/uhid stayed root-only so the gamepad degraded to an Xbox 360 pad,
and the UDP buffers stayed at the 416 KB default. Video was unaffected because
Game Mode/gamescope needs none of it, which masked the skip on-glass.

- install.sh + update.sh: acquire sudo interactively (`sudo -v` prompt on a TTY)
  instead of requiring passwordless; skip only when there's no TTY or auth fails,
  and then print the exact manual block plus a `passwd` hint — a stock SteamOS
  'deck' account has no password, so sudo can't work until one is set.
- update.sh: also retrofit the UDP-buffer sysctl for older/skipped installs, and
  loudly nag to reboot when the input group was just added (a --user restart does
  not pick up the new group; only a fresh login does).
- steamos-host.md: note this step prompts for the sudo password.

Root is unavoidable: the udev rule, input group, and vhci-hcd module are all
kernel operations with no user-space alternative.
