feat(steamdeck): one-command host install + docs (build-on-device)

SteamOS is immutable read-only Arch, and the Deck is AMD (VAAPI) — so none of the
checked-in packaging (arch/sysext is NVENC-first + client-oriented, deb/rpm are
soname-mismatched) actually installs a working host on a Steam Deck. The proven path
(distrobox-built native binary + systemd-run units) was 100% manual. Make it one command.

- scripts/steamdeck/install.sh — idempotent installer: ensure the pf2 Debian-trixie
  distrobox + toolchain → build host (+web console) → write config (generated web login
  password) → raise UDP buffers to 32 MB + udev + input group (sudo, skipped gracefully
  if unavailable) → install + start punktfunk-host / punktfunk-web systemd USER services
  with linger. Flags: --open (accept unpaired clients), --no-web, --src=DIR. Builds
  on-device so a rebuild always matches the running SteamOS (no prebuilt-binary fragility
  across OS updates); VAAPI on the Deck's AMD GPU.
- scripts/steamdeck/update.sh — rebuild from current source + restart (config/pairings persist).
- scripts/steamdeck/README.md — deep reference (why on-device, what's installed, gotchas).
- docs-site: new "Steam Deck (Host)" guide + sidebar entry; install.md splits Arch from the
  Steam Deck host path; packaging/arch/README points Deck-host users here and corrects the
  stale "NVENC-only" note (VAAPI host encode landed).

Live-validated on the Deck: installer runs clean, both services come up, host listens
(QUIC :9777 + mgmt :47990), web serves (302→login); on a client connect it takes over the
Game-Mode gamescope session at the client's mode, captures via PipeWire, and VAAPI-encodes
(hevc_vaapi) — full pipeline confirmed in the host journal.

# punktfunk — Steam Deck HOST installer (stream FROM the Deck to other devices).
#
# SteamOS is an immutable, read-only Arch base, so the host can't be a system package and a
# prebuilt binary would break on an OS library bump. Instead we build the host natively inside a
# Debian-trixie distrobox (ABI-matched to SteamOS's FFmpeg/glibc) — the binary then runs natively
# on SteamOS — and wire it up as proper systemd USER services. A rebuild always matches the
# running OS. AMD encode uses VAAPI; NVIDIA uses NVENC (auto-detected).
#
# Run it on the Deck (Desktop Mode "Konsole", or over ssh). Idempotent — safe to re-run to update
# config or pick up new options. To rebuild after pulling new source, use update.sh.
#
# bash scripts/steamdeck/install.sh # secure default: PIN pairing required
# bash scripts/steamdeck/install.sh --open # trusted LAN: accept unpaired clients (TOFU)
# bash scripts/steamdeck/install.sh --no-web # skip the management web console
# PUNKTFUNK_SRC=~/src/punktfunk bash scripts/steamdeck/install.sh # source elsewhere
