Drop the packages Fedora 44 stopped shipping, and never let a migration wait for a prompt

Two more things the Framework's install surfaced.

gstreamer1-plugin-fmp4 and gstreamer1-plugin-mp4 no longer exist in any repo
this configuration enables — not Fedora 44, not RPM Fusion, not the Hyprland
COPR. Machines installed on older Fedora carry them as orphans, which is why
the list looked fine from one. dnf5 refuses a whole transaction over one
missing name, and desktop-packages runs above the Hyprland block, so two dead
codec entries cost the entire desktop.

The solopasha migration preferred panama-sudo, and pkexec with no polkit agent
to answer it does not fail — it waits forever, which held an unattended
./install hostage at the one stage that promised never to ask. The stated
reason is now reserved for a terminal someone is sitting at; a non-interactive
run takes plain sudo, which either succeeds quietly or fails fast enough for
panama-migrate to retry at the next login, as it promises.

Verified by running install-packages end to end on the machine that broke it:
Terra guard holds, desktop packages resolve, Hyprland 0.56.2 lands, and the
stage reaches its stepped-over report. All 22 setup contracts pass.
