Fix neovim symlink target: was basename(tarball), now explicit NVIM_EXTRACT_DIR

Browse source 
The tarball filename is nvim-linux-arm64.tar.gz but the extracted
directory inside it is also named nvim-linux-arm64. However, my
original code did $(basename nvim.tar.gz .tar.gz) which returns 'nvim'
(strips both the directory and the suffix), creating a symlink to
/opt/nvim/bin/nvim that pointed to a non-existent path.

Discovered on rye after the bootstrap appeared to succeed but nvim
wasn't findable. Fixed by hardcoding the extracted directory name
based on the arch case:

  x86_64:   nvim-linux64.tar.gz  ->  nvim-linux64
  aarch64:  nvim-linux-arm64.tar.gz -> nvim-linux-arm64

Same fix applied to:
- run_once_20-install-user-packages.sh.tmpl (initial install)
- dot_local/bin/update-neovim.sh (topgrade-time updates)

Verified on rye: /usr/local/bin/nvim -> /opt/nvim-linux-arm64/bin/nvim,
'nvim --version' returns 'NVIM v0.11.4'.
