Martin Bauer f6a169afaa Build irserver on the device on a 64-bit or trixie userland
The shipped irserver is a 32-bit ARM binary linked against libzip.so.4, which only
exists on armhf with Debian 12 or older. On a 64-bit userland or trixie it cannot run,
so the role now compiles the bundled 2019 sources on the device there, with GCC 14's
new hard errors (implicit declarations, implicit int, pointer/int mix-ups) downgraded
rather than the old code patched. Picked from `dpkg --print-architecture` and the
distribution version; `pi_irserver_build_from_source: true|false` forces it.

# pi_irserver
Installs and configures `irserver` (with a Hauppauge remote config) as an
autostarted systemd service for IR remote control, and registers it with
`pi_sysdweb`.
The shipped `files/irserver` is a 32-bit ARM binary needing `libzip.so.4`, so it is used
only on an armhf userland with Debian 12 or older. On a 64-bit userland or trixie it is
compiled on the device from `files/irserver-src.tar.gz` instead (the 2019 sources need
GCC's newer hard errors downgraded; see `tasks/build.yml`). Automatic; override with
`pi_irserver_build_from_source: true|false`.
