feat(grub): render grub-theme-udt's theme.txt and print its root install

theme.txt has no include, so udt-palette substitutes eight roles and the
scheme name into the sibling repo's theme.txt.in, conky-style. The accent is
the scheme's fixed one; nothing at boot can read the wallpaper.

install.sh runs that repo's build as the user and, only when it succeeds,
prints the root copy into /boot/grub/themes plus the one-time GRUB_THEME and
grub-mkconfig steps. External targets are now skipped whenever their template
is missing, not only when the repo is, so a sibling mid-setup cannot break an
install.
