feat: auto-install msitools in both SWBF2 setup scripts

Browse Source 
Both scripts now detect and install msitools if missing, supporting
apt-get (Debian/Ubuntu), dnf (Fedora), and pacman (Arch). Falls back
to a clear error if the package manager is not recognised.

Remove msitools from manual prerequisites in the doc.
