refactor(nix): add structured config support to home-manager module

Convert settings from raw text to structured Nix attrs, following
Hyprland's module pattern. Implementation based 1:1 on Hyprland's
design - all credit to the Hyprland project.

- Add nix/lib.nix with toMango conversion function
- Support nested attrs, lists for duplicate keys
- Add extraConfig, topPrefixes, bottomPrefixes options
- Auto-add exec-once for autostart.sh

Adapted for mangowc syntax (underscore separators vs colons).

/**
Convert a structured Nix attribute set into Mango's configuration format.
This function takes a nested attribute set and converts it into Mango-compatible
configuration syntax, supporting top, bottom, and regular command sections.
Commands are flattened using the `flattenAttrs` function, and attributes are formatted as
`key = value` pairs. Lists are expanded as duplicate keys to match Mango's expected format.
Configuration:
* `topCommandsPrefixes` - A list of prefixes to define **top** commands (default: `[]`).
* `bottomCommandsPrefixes` - A list of prefixes to define **bottom** commands (default: `[]`).
Attention:
- The function ensures top commands appear **first** and bottom commands **last**.
- The generated configuration is a **single string**, suitable for writing to a config file.
- Lists are converted into multiple entries, ensuring compatibility with Mango.
# Inputs
Structured function argument:
: topCommandsPrefixes (optional, default: `[]`)
: A list of prefixes that define **top** commands. Any key starting with one of these
prefixes will be placed at the beginning of the configuration.
: bottomCommandsPrefixes (optional, default: `[]`)
: A list of prefixes that define **bottom** commands. Any key starting with one of these
prefixes will be placed at the end of the configuration.
Value:
: The attribute set to be converted to Hyprland configuration format.
# Type
```
toMango :: AttrSet -> AttrSet -> String
```
# Examples
:::{.example}
## Basic mangowc configuration
```nix
let
config = {
blur = 1;
blur_params_radius = 5;
border_radius = 6;
animations = 1;
animation_duration_open = 400;
};
in lib.toMango {} config
```
**Output:**
```
animations = 1
animation_duration_open = 400
blur = 1
blur_params_radius = 5
border_radius = 6
```
## Using nested attributes
```nix
let
config = {
blur = 1;
blur_params = {
radius = 5;
num_passes = 2;
noise = 0.02;
};
animation_curve = {
open = "0.46,1.0,0.29,1";
close = "0.08,0.92,0,1";
};
};
in lib.toMango {} config
```
**Output:**
```
animation_curve_close = 0.08,0.92,0,1
animation_curve_open = 0.46,1.0,0.29,1
blur = 1
blur_params_noise = 0.02
blur_params_num_passes = 2
blur_params_radius = 5
```
## Using lists for duplicate keys
```nix
let
config = {
bind = [
"SUPER,r,reload_config"
"Alt,space,spawn,rofi -show drun"
"Alt,Return,spawn,foot"
];
tagrule = [
"id:1,layout_name:tile"
"id:2,layout_name:scroller"
];
};
in lib.toMango {} config
```
**Output:**
```
bind = SUPER,r,reload_config
bind = Alt,space,spawn,rofi -show drun
bind = Alt,Return,spawn,foot
tagrule = id:1,layout_name:tile
tagrule = id:2,layout_name:scroller
```

/**
Flatten a nested attribute set into a flat attribute set, using a custom key separator function.
This function recursively traverses a nested attribute set and produces a flat attribute set
where keys are joined using a user-defined function (`pred`). It allows transforming deeply
nested structures into a single-level attribute set while preserving key-value relationships.
Configuration:
* `pred` - A function `(string -> string -> string)` defining how keys should be concatenated.
# Inputs
Structured function argument:
: pred (required)
: A function that determines how parent and child keys should be combined into a single key.
It takes a `prefix` (parent key) and `key` (current key) and returns the joined key.
Value:
: The nested attribute set to be flattened.
# Type
```
flattenAttrs :: (String -> String -> String) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet
```
# Examples
:::{.example}
```nix
let
nested = {
a = "3";
b = { c = "4"; d = "5"; };
};
separator = (prefix: key: "${prefix}.${key}"); # Use dot notation
in lib.flattenAttrs separator nested
```
**Output:**
```nix
{
"a" = "3";
"b.c" = "4";
"b.d" = "5";
}
```
