Ubuntu-Hyprland-26.04-v1.0.5

• Added:
  • install-scripts/waybar.sh to build waybar from source (matches Debian)
• Changed:

    package and builds from source only — prevents apt upgrades from silently
    overriding the source-built binaryZ
• Fixed:
  • Installer was installing ubuntu repo not PPA by default
  • Fixed final check for swww to awww
  • sddm_theme.sh overwritting background image
  • Yazi installed from GH repository
  • waybar build error missing dependencies

What's Changed

• 26.04 development SDDM and misc fixes by @dwilliam62 in #37
