Enhance Sway/Noctalia integration and align desktop docs

- Add canonical usb-drive-manager plugin to Noctalia (symlink from official)
- Remove nm-applet and blueman packages from nymph Sway session
- Run udiskie without tray (backend for automount/LUKS, UI via usb-drive-manager)
- Add screenOverrides support to Noctalia bar via inventory variables
- Add host_packages_absent task to packages_void role
- Update desktop docs with full plugin list and config layering
- Add focused validation check for Sway/Noctalia bootstrap

+- `profile_desktop_sway` owns the Sway session, Noctalia config rendering, and official plugin linking.
+- Noctalia shared config lives in `dotfiles/desktop/.config/noctalia/`; bar monitors and `screenOverrides` come from inventory (`noctalia_bar_monitors`, `noctalia_screen_overrides`).
+- On Sway hosts, `udiskie` is the backend for automount/LUKS but runs without tray; USB device UI is handled by `usb-drive-manager`.
+- Do not re-introduce `network-manager-applet` or `blueman` on Sway hosts without an explicit host-specific reason.
 
 ## Workstation / Windows Notes
 - Native Linux workstation hosts can combine `workstation_host_linux` with an OS-specific dev group.
