feat(palette): move the scheme selection out of the repo

The selector was tracked at palette/roles.conf, which made switching scheme a
committable change: the previous commit carried `scheme = tokyo-night` in its
diff purely because that was the theme running at the time.

Which theme a machine runs is local state, not a property of the project, so
the live file is now ~/.config/udt/roles.conf. install.sh seeds it from
palette/roles.conf.default on a first run and never overwrites it, so a
switch leaves the working tree clean and two machines sharing this repo can
run different schemes. udt-palette falls back to the seed when no live file
exists, so a bare checkout still generates.

This is the one exception to the repo holding the canonical copy of
everything, and AGENTS.md says so.

Verified: seeding on a missing file, the seed not overwriting an existing
choice, generation from the seed alone, and both selftests.

 ## One palette, many consumers
 
 Colours are written down once. `palette/<scheme>.conf` holds them under the
-scheme's own names, `palette/roles-<scheme>.conf` says what each is for, and
-`palette/roles.conf` is a single `scheme = ` line selecting the pair.
-`bin/udt-palette` renders that into every consumer's own syntax; `install.sh`
-runs it first, before anything is linked.

 Four schemes ship: `macchiato`, `tokyo-night`, `nord`, `dracula`. Switching is
-one line plus `./install.sh`.

 Generated files are gitignored, because tracking them would turn every scheme
 switch into a diff. Editing one is pointless: the next install overwrites it.
