Add WireGuard support to VPN manager, use nm-applet for auth

Browse Source 
nm-applet replaces the foot terminal workaround for VPN authentication,
providing a proper NetworkManager secret agent. moonarch-vpn now handles
both VPN and WireGuard connection types. Waybar indicator switched from
tun0 interface check to nmcli active connection query with signal-based
instant refresh.

- **Tradeoffs**: Walker is newer/less battle-tested than Rofi. Requires separate Elephant daemon with per-provider packages. Dmenu mode lacks Rofi's `-a`/`-u` (active/urgent) and `-mesg` flags. Settings menu (moonarch-setmen) dropped entirely — apps are findable via Walker's app search.
- **How**: Walker + Elephant as systemd user services. Native providers replace 5 rofi scripts (launcher, clipboard, bluetooth, volume, sink-switcher). 3 scripts ported to walker dmenu (vpn, cpugov, sink-switcher). Walker theme inherits GTK4 system theme colors (gtk-inherit). Old rofi configs preserved in `legacy/rofi/`.
## 2026-03-30 – Use nm-applet as VPN secret agent, add WireGuard support
- **Who**: Dominik, Ragnar
- **Why**: VPN auth previously spawned a foot terminal for `nmcli --ask`, which was fragile and ugly. WireGuard connections were invisible to the VPN script and Waybar indicator because both only checked for OpenVPN (`tun0` / `vpn` type).
- **Tradeoffs**: nm-applet adds a tray indicator (mitigated with `--indicator` mode which is minimal). Requires nm-applet running at session start. Alternative was gnome-keyring or a custom secret agent — nm-applet is simpler and handles all NM secret types.
- **How**: nm-applet started via niri spawn-at-startup. moonarch-vpn rewritten to support both vpn and wireguard types, uses nm-applet for auth instead of foot terminal, sends notify-send for connect/disconnect results. Waybar VPN module uses `nmcli` active connection check instead of `/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tun0`, plus RTMIN+9 signal for instant updates after toggle.
## 2026-03-30 – Standardize GTK theme to Colloid-Grey-Dark-Catppuccin
- **Who**: Dominik, Ragnar
- **Why**: gsettings had `Colloid-Dark-Catppuccin` while config files had `Colloid-Catppuccin` — inconsistent. Grey accent matches the icon theme (Colloid-Grey-Catppuccin-Dark). Explicit `-Dark` variant is more reliable than depending on `prefer-dark` color-scheme setting.
