v0.5.17: text-mode boot — drop fedora branding, full hackery scroll

Browse source 
Per user: bottom-screen "fedora" logo + spinner during boot is fedora-
logos package + GRUB graphical theme. v0.5.17 strips it for now —
v0.6 will re-introduce plymouth with veilor-black theme + LUKS-prompt-
friendly config.

Changes:
1. Kernel cmdline: add `logo.nologo console=tty0`
   - logo.nologo: suppress kernel boot logo (Tux/Fedora leaf)
   - console=tty0: explicit text console output
   - `quiet` already absent → all kernel msgs scroll
2. /etc/default/grub patches in chroot %post:
   - GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="veilor-os" (menu titles read "veilor-os" not
     "Fedora Linux 43...")
   - GRUB_THEME= (empty — no graphical theme)
   - GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" (text-mode menu, no gfxterm)
   - Drop GRUB_BACKGROUND
3. Regen grub.cfg + EFI grub.cfg with new branding

Result: pure text scroll boot, white-on-black, no fedora artifacts.
veilor-os menu title in GRUB picker. "Hackery dope" aesthetic.

For real users wanting splash → v0.6 ships plymouth + veilor theme.
