hyprdrive: route notification D-Bus activation to beacon, not dunst 

The dunst package ships org.knopwob.dunst.service with
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications, so D-Bus auto-activates dunst the
moment any app posts a notification, beating beacon to the name (beacon
then exits on name-lost). Shadow it with a user-level activation file
that Execs beacon-start.sh; ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services takes
precedence over /usr/share. Documented the install-time deploy in
updater.conf.

[D-BUS Service]
# Route D-Bus activation of the freedesktop notification name to beacon instead
# of dunst. The dunst package ships /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service
# which also claims Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications, so without this file D-Bus
# auto-activates dunst the moment any app posts a notification and dunst grabs the
# name before beacon can (beacon then exits on name-lost — see beacon/main.py).
# A service file in ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/ takes precedence over /usr/share,
# so this wins the name resolution for org.freedesktop.Notifications.
#
# Deployed to ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/ at install time (see updater.conf).
