Migrate CUPS Printing addon; restructure install.sh into Core Settings/Addons/Advanced; bump to v2.5.0

First Addon migrated: menus/addon_cups.sh (install, reconfigure for
network access, complete uninstall/purge). Different risk profile from
everything migrated so far - it genuinely mutates real system state
(apt install/remove --purge, /etc/cups, ufw) at fixed paths CUPS itself
doesn't let us relocate, unlike the systemd/cron/bin paths this project
already controls via $SYSTEMD_DIR etc. Only the polkit rule's directory
is parameterized ($POLKIT_DIR, lib/config.sh, since that one is ours to
place); everything else gets full command-level `sudo` stubbing in
every test - there is no scratch equivalent for a real apt-managed
subsystem's own file layout. Also added $BUILD_USER (the admin account
actually running the tool, as opposed to $KIOSK_USER) since CUPS needs
to grant it lpadmin group membership.

Restructured install.sh's top-level menu into Core Settings / Addons /
Advanced (matching the legacy tool) instead of one flat list, now that
Addons exists as its own category - cheap to do with one item in it,
much more annoying to retrofit once the flat list has fifteen.

Two bugs caught and fixed before they shipped:

- A "wait for CUPS to start" retry loop used a bare `cmd1 && cmd2 &&
  break` as its body while "simplifying" the legacy script's `if cmd1
  && cmd2; then break; fi`. Being inside a loop doesn't protect a bare
  &&/|| list from set -e - only if/while/until conditions and the
  protected side of &&/|| do that - so the first command failing on an
  early iteration (near-certain right after a fresh install, before
  CUPS has actually started) would have crashed the entire session.
  Restored the `if` form; noted the lesson in the file's own header
  comment since it's a general trap, not CUPS-specific.

- Resolved real uncertainty, rather than assuming: how far does
  run_menu's `handler || true` guard (v2.1.0) actually protect? Wrote a
  minimal isolated test (a bare `false` three function calls deep,
  called via `outer || true` at the top) and confirmed bash's errexit
  exemption for the left side of `||` covers the *entire* evaluation,
  arbitrarily deep through function calls - not just the immediately
  invoked function. So the session-crash risk this project has been
  chasing since v2.1.0 is already covered end-to-end by that one fix.
  Per-statement guards (`|| true`, explicit `if`) still earn their keep
  for a different reason: without them a deep failure bubbles silently
  past the menu actually responsible for it to wherever the nearest
  `|| true` happens to sit, which can be several menu levels above
  where the user actually was - not a crash, but a confusing jump.

Verified:
- Full regression: re-ran every existing scratch-config/stub test suite
  after the lib/config.sh change (new $BUILD_USER/$POLKIT_DIR) and
  after the install.sh restructuring - all still clean.
- New scratch/stub test for addon_cups.sh: full state-machine coverage
  (not installed -> decline -> install -> running -> reconfigure ->
  stopped -> start -> uninstall decline -> uninstall confirm -> not
  installed again) with every `sudo` call intercepted and only `rm`
  targeting the scratch $POLKIT_DIR ever actually executed; confirmed
  the polkit rule's content and that declining install makes zero sudo
  calls. Added both apt-failure paths (update fails, install fails)
  and confirmed the tool reports clearly and returns to the menu
  instead of dying, exercising the exact bug class just fixed.
- End-to-end: ran the real install.sh as a genuine non-root, non-
  "kiosk" user through the full new three-level structure - Core
  Settings -> Sites -> back -> back, Addons -> CUPS -> declined install
  (using this container's real, unstubbed dpkg check, correctly
  reporting "not installed" and making no apt/systemctl calls) -> back
  -> back, Advanced -> Diagnostics -> System status -> back -> back ->
  Exit. Zero invalid-choice errors, clean exit code 0 throughout.

## Project Status & Future Plans
**Current Version:** 2.4.0
**Current Version:** 2.5.0
**Recent Updates (v2.4.0):**
**Recent Updates (v2.5.0):**
- **First Addon migrated:** CUPS Printing — install/reconfigure/complete uninstall, in `./install.sh`. Genuinely mutates real system state (`apt install`/`remove --purge`, `/etc/cups`, `ufw`) at fixed paths CUPS itself doesn't let us relocate, so every test uses full command-level `sudo` stubbing rather than the scratch-directory approach used for this project's own files.
- **Menu restructured:** `install.sh`'s top level is now grouped Core Settings / Addons / Advanced, matching the legacy tool, instead of one flat list — done now while it's cheap, ahead of the list getting unwieldy.
- **Bug fix:** a "wait for service to start" retry loop used a bare `cmd1 && cmd2 && break` as its body — that's not made safe by being inside a loop; a bare `&&`/`||` list used as a standalone statement is fully subject to `set -e`, and the first command failing on an early iteration (near-certain right after a fresh install) would have killed the whole session. Restored the `if cmd1 && cmd2; then break; fi` form.
- **Resolved:** real uncertainty about how far `run_menu`'s `handler || true` guard (added in v2.1.0) actually reaches — confirmed with an isolated test that it protects against a failing command no matter how many function calls deep, so the session-crash risk chased since v2.1.0 is already covered end-to-end by that one fix. Per-statement guards still matter for a different reason: without them, a deep failure bubbles past the menu actually responsible for it to wherever the nearest `|| true` happens to catch it.
**Previous (v2.4.0):**
- **Diagnostics migrated** — system status, log viewing (Electron/LightDM/journal), an 8-step audio diagnostic, and a ping+DNS network test, from the legacy Advanced menu. A change of pace: everything here is read-only, no destructive-action risk to manage.
- **Bug fix (set -e safety):** every diagnostic whose failure is the expected case — no lightdm running, no audio hardware, no network, missing logs, `ping`/`nslookup` not even installed — was a bare unguarded statement that would have crashed the whole session instead of reporting "not found" and moving on. Fixed throughout; a diagnostics tool has to survive exactly the broken states it exists to diagnose.
- Manual Electron Update, Factory Reset, Export/Import Settings, Emergency Hotspot, and Fix Blank Screen are staying in the legacy script for now — destructive/mutating, and some share Upgrade's coupling to the legacy script's self-extraction mechanism (see v2.3.0 notes).
