The VNC sidecar builds its .vnc/passwd rfbauth file with `vncpasswd -f`
(vnc-manager.ts) — x11vnc alone doesn't ship vncpasswd. The GNOME-on-Xorg
rewrite dropped tigervnc, so the mirror couldn't create its password and
/desktop failed with "VNC password not configured". Add tigervnc-common back.

setup-desktop.sh now installs ubuntu-desktop + gdm3 + x11vnc and forces the
Xorg session (WaylandEnable=false) with auto-login — x11vnc can only mirror an
Xorg :0, not Wayland. vnc-manager.ts resolves the X authority from the GDM
per-session path (/run/user/<uid>/gdm/Xauthority) with a ~/.Xauthority fallback.
setup.sh fixes:
- desktop step gates on `dpkg -s ubuntu-desktop` (was the decommissioned
officer-vnc service, which never matched so setup-desktop re-ran every time)
- remove Pi (install, --list-models validation, verification check)
- export GOPATH before the cliamp build so `go install` lands where it's checked
even when Go was already present this run
- write PUBLIC_BUILD_ENV=production and quote all .env values
- guard the interactive .env block behind a TTY check so non-interactive runs
skip cleanly instead of aborting on read EOF under set -e
- restart systemd-logind only when a key actually changed
- sed prefix-strip instead of `tr -d` (which deletes characters, not a prefix)

replaces the single hardcoded systemd VNC service with a dynamic
sidecar that manages per-user VNC sessions on demand. any authenticated
user can now access their own desktop, not just Super Admin.
