Danny fe6ee25d1c Fix Proxmox VM login — force user creation via runcmd ...

The Arch Linux cloud image ignores Proxmox's --ciuser/--cipassword
and the cloud-init chpasswd module depending on version. The previous
approach had three conflicting methods fighting each other.

Fixed by:
- Removed --ciuser/--cipassword from qm set (they conflict with snippet)
- Removed chpasswd cloud-init module (unreliable on Arch)
- Set users: [] to disable cloud-init's default user module
- ALL user setup now done via runcmd (runs as root, always works):
  - Sets root password to 'darkforge' as fallback
  - Creates darkforge user via useradd + chpasswd
  - Grants passwordless sudo via /etc/sudoers.d/
  - Enables PermitRootLogin yes as safety net
- Package install via explicit pacman commands instead of packages: module
  (Arch cloud-init packages module can be unreliable)
- Added pacman-key --init/--populate before package install

Login credentials:
  user: darkforge  password: darkforge
  user: root       password: darkforge  (fallback)
