ci(build): single-threaded low-priority makepkg to spare host

Browse Source 
Parallel Rust builds have OOM-killed the Gitea host twice
(2026-04-20, 2026-04-23 run 86). Force CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1,
MAKEFLAGS=-j1, and wrap makepkg with nice+ionice so the
act_runner can't drown the shared host.

## 2026-04-23 – Single-threaded, low-priority build in CI to keep the Gitea host alive
- **Who**: Dominik, ClaudeCode
- **Why**: The act_runner container shares CPU/RAM/I/O with the Gitea host (network-host mode, no resource limits). Parallel Rust builds OOM-kill or thrash the host: run 86 (2026-04-23, moongreet-git 0.8.3.r1) stopped mid-compile at `Compiling gio v0.22.2` with no error, and gitea HTTPS was unreachable for ~11 min. Same pattern on 2026-04-20. Runner-side resource limits would be better, but require host-side config changes; a pipeline-side fix is portable and low-risk.
- **Tradeoffs**: Builds are slower — single-threaded cargo compile of a moon* project takes ~2–3× as long. `nice -n 19` + `ionice -c 3` further delay the build when the host is busy, but that's the point. Slow build beats downed host.
- **How**: `build-and-publish.yaml` exports `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1` and `MAKEFLAGS=-j1` before `makepkg`, and wraps `makepkg` with `nice -n 19 ionice -c 3`. Affects every package build in the matrix.

- **Why**: `moonarch-git` listed `moongreet-git`/`moonlock-git`/`moonset-git` only as `optdepends` and omitted most Arch-repo essentials (wlsunset, networkmanager, bluez, xwayland-satellite, file-manager stack, zsh plugins, CLI tools, …) entirely — they lived only in `packages/official.txt`. `paru -S moonarch-git` on a fresh system therefore produced a desktop with no greeter, no lockscreen, no power menu, no nightlight, no network manager, no portals — a non-functional Moonarch. Split source of truth between PKGBUILD deps and txt files caused continuous drift (e.g. walker-bin was missing from both). - **Why**: `moonarch-git` listed `moongreet-git`/`moonlock-git`/`moonset-git` only as `optdepends` and omitted most Arch-repo essentials (wlsunset, networkmanager, bluez, xwayland-satellite, file-manager stack, zsh plugins, CLI tools, …) entirely — they lived only in `packages/official.txt`. `paru -S moonarch-git` on a fresh system therefore produced a desktop with no greeter, no lockscreen, no power menu, no nightlight, no network manager, no portals — a non-functional Moonarch.
