nvidia driver stability & version menu

- Refactored NVIDIA installation with robust DKMS verification (`_verify_nvidia_dkms_build`). Automatically detects build failures for the current kernel and repairs them via `dpkg-reconfigure`, ensuring modules compile against active kernels without manual intervention.
- Added Secure Boot detection (`_nvidia_secure_boot_enabled`) to warn users if the NVIDIA module is compiled but unsigned, preventing boot issues on systems with UEFI security enabled.
- Implemented `_configure_nvidia_wayland()` for Wayland support. Detects hybrid laptops (Optimus) vs desktops using DMI chassis types and battery presence. Configures `NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations` only for desktops to avoid Optimus conflicts, and adds architecture-specific guards (e.g., Kepler warnings).
- Introduced version selection menu (`_show_nvidia_version_menu`). Users can select driver versions (470/535/550/590/595) based on Debian release. Parametrized CUDA repo installation for 590/595 with post-install DKMS branch verification.
- Fixed state inconsistency bugs in `NVIDIA_DRIVER_MODE`. Added guards to ensure configuration files are only written upon successful installation, preventing partial setups after failures (e.g., backports, CUDA repo).
- Improved hardware detection helpers (`_is_hybrid_laptop`, `_get_nvidia_arch_family`). Prevents false positives on multi-GPU desktops by verifying iGPU presence alongside dGPU.
- Updated Java/Minecraft support in `modules/extras/java.sh`. Added Temurin 25 ("Minecraft 26+") to the runtime selection menu and updated documentation.
- Enhanced utility robustness (`_run_cmd`, `_configure_lightdm`). Properly propagates exit codes from commands and handles failures gracefully (yellow warnings + skip) instead of crashing under `set -e`.

**Multi-Version Support:** The gaming module provides four specific Eclipse Temurin versions to accommodate different game requirements:
| Version | Use Case | Justification |
|---------|----------|---------------|
| **Temurin 8** | Legacy Minecraft mods, older Java games | Maintains compatibility with mods written for Java 8 (2014-2019 era) |
| **Temurin 17** | Modern Minecraft servers, newer game clients | Balances performance and compatibility for post-1.16+ game versions |
| **Temurin 21** | Latest game engines, cutting-edge mods | Provides best performance for modern Java applications |
| **Temurin 25** | Minecraft 26+ and latest game engines | Best performance for the newest Java applications |
**Repository Management via extrepo:** The script leverages the `extrepo` utility to manage external repositories cleanly rather than manually injecting repository URLs into system files. This approach offers several advantages:

2. **Dependency Resolution:** The utility checks for its own installation and handles the enabling of the Adoptium Temurin repository before proceeding with package installation.
3. **Maintenance Safety:** Updates to the upstream repository are reflected through `extrepo` without requiring direct edits to system configuration files, reducing the risk of breakage during OS updates.
**Version Selection Logic:** Users can choose which Temurin version to install based on their specific game requirements via a TUI menu (`install_minecraft_java()`). The module justifies offering all three versions because:
**Version Selection Logic:** Users can choose which Temurin version to install based on their specific game requirements via a TUI menu (`install_minecraft_java()`). The module justifies offering all four versions because:
1. **Backward Compatibility:** Java 8 remains in use by many Minecraft mods and older game clients that haven't been updated for newer JVMs
2. **Performance Optimization:** Java 21 provides the best performance characteristics for modern games with heavy multithreading requirements
3. **Security Updates:** All Temurin versions receive regular security patches from the Eclipse Foundation community
The installation process ensures clean repository management without polluting the system with multiple conflicting JRE installations, maintaining Debian's package integrity while providing flexibility for different gaming scenarios. It automatically installs `extrepo` if not present and enables the Adoptium source before proceeding with version-specific packages (e.g., `temurin-8-jre`, `temurin-17-jre`).
