Hyprland 0.51.x install support

• Hyprland builds 0.51.x from source
  

• Added documentation for upgrading from 0.49/0.50.x to 0.51.1.
  

New scripts and modules

- update-hyprland.sh: Manage the Hyprland stack with:
  - --install / --dry-run build modes
  - --only and --skip for selective components
  - --with-deps to (re)install build deps
  - --set {KEY=TAG} and --restore tag backup support
  - --fetch-latest to pull latest GitHub release tags
  - --via-helper to delegate summary-only dry-runs
- dry-run-build.sh: Compile-only helper with summary output
- install-scripts/wayland-protocols-src.sh: Build wayland-protocols from
  source (>= 1.45) to satisfy Hyprland 0.51.x requirements

Core features

- Centralized tag management via hypr-tags.env; tags exported to all
  modules. Environment overrides remain first priority.
- Automatic dependency ordering for Hyprland 0.51.x:
  wayland-protocols-src → hyprland-protocols → hyprutils → hyprlang →
  aquamarine → hyprland
- Optional auto-fetch of latest tags on install runs that include
  hyprland (can be disabled via --no-fetch)
- Selective updates for targeted components and skip lists
- Dry-run mode to validate builds without installing

Installer integration

- install.sh reads hypr-tags.env and optionally refreshes tags.
- Ensures wayland-protocols-src is built before Hyprland.
- Maintains proper sequencing for the Hyprland dependencies.

Docs

- Debian-Hyprland-Install-Upgrade.md and .es.md:
  - Add explicit section: Upgrade 0.49/0.50.x → 0.51.1
  - Recommend: `./update-hyprland.sh --install --only hyprland`
  - Provide optional `--with-deps` and `--dry-run` flows
- Full install via install.sh is not required for this
  upgrade unless optional modules need refresh

Usage highlights

- Pin and upgrade to 0.51.1:
  ./update-hyprland.sh --set HYPRLAND=v0.51.1
  ./update-hyprland.sh --install --only hyprland
- Optional:
  ./update-hyprland.sh --with-deps --install --only hyprland
  ./update-hyprland.sh --dry-run --only hyprland

Notes

- Target OS remains Debian Trixie/Testing/SID
- Run as sudo-capable user (not root)
- Ensure deb-src entries are enabled.
