ARCHINSTALL FIXES LOCALIZATION BUILD THAT BROKE THREE TIMES

Archinstall's translation pipeline finally handles runtime binding descriptions correctly, after manual patches kept getting wiped by automated regeneration.

The help bar and F1 panel strings in archinstall never reached base.pot because xgettext only recognized literal tr("...") calls, not tr(b.description) at runtime [1]. A manual workaround in #4363 kept getting clobbered by regeneration cycles [2]. This time the fix is permanent: the generator now knows two more keywords to catch binding definitions, so translators will see the full UI surface [2]. Infrastructure moved faster on its half. Matrix got Synapse bumped to 1.157.1 and the draupnir build fixed for NPM 12 [3][4]. Over in state, the usual steady stream of package updates landed across testing and stable: gitea-runner to 2.2.0, python-strawberry-graphql to 0.323.1, limine to 12.5.2, plus jruby and zsnes refreshes [6][7][8][9][10]. Archinstall also replaced a raw command call with the run wrapper for lsblk [5]. Fifty-four commits and two PRs across three repos overnight, most of it state housekeeping, but the localization fix is the one that stops recurring pain.
