Subject: [PATCH] screenshot: revert flameshot, use grim+slurp+satty pipeline
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Flameshot's portal-based capture path on niri triggers an
xdg-desktop-portal access prompt on every invocation, blocking
the screenshot itself. grim talks to wlr-screencopy directly and
never touches the portal, so no prompt.

Pipeline: slurp (region) → grim (capture) → satty (annotate +
copy + save). satty replaces the wofi action menu by being the
post-capture surface itself.

- scripts/screenshot.sh added
- install.sh symlinks it; flameshot.ini generator removed
- niri Mod+Print → "screenshot"
- packages.txt drops flameshot
- docs tables updated
