fix: defer nvtake to slackrepo confirm
nvchecker's oldver is now synced (nvtake) only when the slackrepo prompt is confirmed, per package, just before slackrepo runs. Moved out of the hint-rewrite step in --check and the version-accept step in --hintfile (both now route through run_slackrepo). Confirming slackrepo acknowledges the versions; a stopped/failed slackrepo can be rerun without nvchecker re-reporting already-committed versions. Fixes the stuck state where interrupting a run between hint-rewrite and slackrepo left oldver behind the hint, so nvchecker logged a phantom 'updated' line every subsequent --check. Tests T20/T23 answer Y to slackrepo so nvtake fires. Dead check_nvchecker_take flag removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+Check one or more packages for upstream updates with `--check`. mkhint runs nvchecker for all (or named) hint files, reports outdated packages, prompts per-package to update (rewriting the hint on confirm), and finishes by prompting slackrepo for all updated packages. `nvtake` runs per package only when you confirm the slackrepo prompt, just before slackrepo runs. So confirming slackrepo acknowledges the versions: if slackrepo is then stopped or fails, rerun it and nvchecker won't re-report those updates. Declining slackrepo leaves the hint bumped but the update re-reported next run:
```bash
mkhint --check # check all hints for upstream updates
