refactor(flake): add user registry and multi-user host support

Separate user identity (data) from the reusable modules, and let a host
declare any number of users instead of exactly one.

- users/registry.nix: per-user identity (name, email, groups, authorized
  and signing keys) as the single source of identity; no user data is
  hardcoded in the modules.
- mkHost takes a `users` set keyed by username; per-user identity is
  injected into each home config via the `identity` module arg
  (extraSpecialArgs is per-host, so it cannot carry per-user data).
- modules/users.nix builds accounts from the registry; modules/ssh.nix no
  longer defines authorized keys (the registry owns them); home/git.nix
  and home/desktop.nix read `identity`; users/emmathorpe/work.nix drops
  its now-redundant git identity override.
- Restructure the tree: users/, home/, modules/, hosts/, lib/ replace the
  former lyrathorpe/ and system/ layout.
- Add standalone homeConfigurations (the portable subset: shell, git,
  editor, claude) and an exported homeModules output for use on machines
  not managed by this flake, or as an input to other flakes.

Behaviour-preserving for existing hosts: lyrathorpe-mbp and
emmathorpe-edaas evaluate to identical derivations; lyrathorpe-t400,
lyrathorpe-macpro31 and lyrathorpe-rpi5 differ only by de-duplicating a
repeated authorized_keys entry. Fixes the SSH authorized-key leak (one
user's key was applied to every account), the hardcoded default git
identity, and the hardcoded EDaaS linger setting.

# Mac Pro 3,1 (Early 2008) — install notes
Flake host: `lyrathorpe-macpro31`. Desktop (`portable = false`, imports
`../../modules/desktop.nix`). Files: `configuration.nix`,
`hardware-configuration.nix`.
## Hardware configuration
`hardware-configuration.nix` here is the real config generated by
`nixos-generate-config` on the machine. Root is an **LVM** logical volume
(`/dev/mapper/MacPro-Root`, ext4); the ESP (vfat) and swap are referenced by
UUID. The initrd carries `dm-snapshot` for the LVM root. Regenerate and commit
if the disk layout changes.
## Bootloader
The Mac Pro 3,1 has **64-bit EFI**, so it uses **systemd-boot** (no GRUB/CSM
shim). `canTouchEfiVariables = false` because Apple's firmware does not reliably
accept `efibootmgr` NVRAM writes.
Apple-EFI quirk: if the firmware boot picker does not show NixOS after install,
either
- uncomment `boot.loader.efi.efiInstallAsRemovable = true;` in
`configuration.nix` (installs the fallback `\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI`), and/or
- "bless" the ESP from macOS.
Partition the disk GPT with an ESP (vfat).
## Graphics
The stock card varies between units — **ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT** or **NVIDIA
GeForce 8800 GT**. No proprietary driver is hardcoded; Sway relies on in-tree KMS:
- ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT → `radeon` (or `amdgpu`) KMS
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT → `nouveau` KMS
These come up automatically. If a card needs forcing, set
`services.xserver.videoDrivers` and/or add the module to
`boot.initrd.kernelModules` for early KMS (see the comment in
`configuration.nix`).
## Networking
Wired Ethernet via NetworkManager (from `desktop.nix`) — the Mac Pro has two
gigabit ports.
## Login
Graphical login via a Wayland greeter — `greetd` running ReGreet inside the
`cage` kiosk compositor — configured centrally in `lyrathorpe/swaywm.nix` for
every Sway host (gated on `features.swayDesktop.enable`). The greeter is forced
to the Dvorak layout to match the console and Sway session. Set the user
password (`passwd lyrathorpe`) after install, or the greeter cannot
authenticate. Requires working KMS (radeon/nouveau — see Graphics).
## Apply
```sh
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#lyrathorpe-macpro31
```
