docs: point install at /etc/sddm.conf, disable the on-screen keyboard
SDDM 0.21 loads /etc/sddm.conf.d before /etc/sddm.conf, so the later
file wins: the stock Current=breeze overrode the udt drop-in and the
theme never applied. Document editing /etc/sddm.conf directly, and
blanking InputMethod= to stop the virtual keyboard popping over the
greeter, which the theme cannot switch off itself.
