Add pacstall for neovim install + version updates on debian

Browse source 
Three changes:

1. NEW run_once_05-install-pacstall.sh.tmpl (debian-only)
   Installs pacstall via its official installer. Pacstall is an
   AUR-like package manager for debian/ubuntu, with neovim at
   0.12.2-1 (current as of bootstrap). The installer requires
   root and prompts for 'install axel?', so we run it under
   sudo with NON_INTERACTIVE=true and stdin redirected from /dev/null.

2. UPDATE run_once_20-install-user-packages.sh.tmpl
   On debian, prefer pacstall over the GitHub tarball when
   pacstall is available. The tarball fallback remains for the
   case where pacstall install failed or isn't wanted.

3. NEW dot_config/topgrade/topgrade.toml
   Topgrade's built-in pacstall step auto-detects pacstall and
   runs 'pacstall -U -Up' (update repo + upgrade packages).
   Built-in chezmoi step also auto-detects chezmoi. So our
   topgrade config just sets pre_sudo=true for password caching
   and ignore_failures for node.
