fix: make steamify.sh executable on the ISO
...
steamify-prepare.sh fetches it with curl -o, which doesn't carry the
executable bit, and profiledef.sh's file_permissions never listed this
path. calamares-online.sh execs it directly ("$sbin" --defaults --list)
to regenerate Items.qml/items.json at boot; without +x that failed
silently (stderr redirected), so items.json was never written and the
Summary step's prettyStatus() override always fell back to the raw,
comma-joined id list.

feat: bake packagechooserq module into the ISO, fix Steamify page styling
...
packagechooserq is excluded from cachyos-calamares-next's own build, so its
.so + module.desc are added straight into airootfs (matching the module
built against the current cachyos-calamares-next). Also:
- SteamifyPage.qml: border-only row highlight (was a translucent teal fill
that made white text unreadable), themed page background (was falling
through to Calamares' default white), a sub-option "└" marker, more right
padding so the row border clears the scrollbar.
- calamares-online.sh: also write items.json next to Items.qml, so
packagechooserq's prettyStatus() can show the Summary step's choice as
labels instead of raw, comma-joined ids.
