Gentoo emerge: add --autounmask-write (the missing piece for ~amd64)

Browse source 
Discovered via man: --autounmask=y alone only DISPLAYS the needed
keyword changes and aborts. The actual write to /etc/portage/...
files requires --autounmask-write=y (or --autounmask-continue=y
which also auto-continues after writing). Without --autounmask-write,
every lazygit (and any other ~amd64-only GURU package) install
fails with:

  The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
  =dev-vcs/lazygit-0.62.2 ~amd64
  Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files

Added to all three emerge invocations:
- run_once_20-install-user-packages-gentoo.sh.tmpl: main loop
- run_once_20-install-user-packages-gentoo.sh.tmpl: GURU loop
- run_once_40-install-sway-gentoo.sh.tmpl
