fix(installer): make the unattended module path non-interactive

An answerfile/PXE install runs the TUI modules with no operator present, so any
interactive prompt or confirmation hangs the deployment forever.

- tui-install.sh: run each module in the FOREGROUND with a background `tail -f`
  mirroring its log, instead of backgrounding the module. Backgrounding made
  interactive module reads (e.g. the EWW form-factor question) trigger SIGTTIN
  and stop; the file-based log still avoids the `| tee` pipe-inherit hang that
  paused installs after a module spawned a daemon. Export MARCHY_UNATTENDED=1
  in answerfile mode so modules can detect it.
- hyprlua.sh: skip the EWW form-factor `read` when MARCHY_UNATTENDED=1 or stdin
  is not a TTY, defaulting to the desktop/no-battery bar; add --noconfirm to the
  tablet-branch yay call.
- python.sh: add --noconfirm --needed to its `pacman -Syu` so it no longer waits
  on the "Proceed?" prompt during unattended installs.
