readme at the root, and fix what would break on a fresh machine

The repo landing page showed .config, .themes and .gtkrc-2.0 and nothing else,
so there was no sign the bootstrap existed. It has always been at
.config/rice/install.sh - that is just where it lands on disk. Root README now
carries the curl one-liner, a map of what is tracked, and a note that this is a
bare repo over $HOME so nobody goes looking for a wrapper folder again.

Things that would not have survived a replication:

  - polybar's click and scroll handlers called $HOME/bin/system-info.sh and
    $HOME/bin/volume.sh. That directory does not exist; the scripts are in
    .config/scripts. The exec lines already pointed there, so only the
    interactive bits were dead.
  - bspwmrc hardcoded DisplayPort-0, so no desktops on any other machine.
    Takes the xrandr primary now, falling back to the first monitor bspc sees.
  - install.sh picked conflicting files out of git's checkout error with a
    regex that required a dot inside the name, so .bashrc and .xinitrc were
    never matched and never backed up - and .bashrc always exists on a fresh
    Arch install, which is precisely when the checkout aborts.
  - bspwmrc sourced ~/.env and merged ~/.Xresources unconditionally; neither
    exists. Guarded.

packages.txt was missing programs whose configs this repo already carries:
fish, neovim, yazi, kitty, plus xrdb/xsetroot/xsettingsd/wmname that bspwmrc
launches, gtk3 for the control panel, and wireplumber for the wpctl calls.

Newly tracked: .xinitrc (the thing that actually starts bspwm), .bashrc (which
holds the dotfiles alias), greenclip, flameshot, kitty, Thunar, mimeapps and
user-dirs. Dropped six editor backups that had been committed by accident.
Skipped QtProject.conf - it is file-dialog history, not configuration.
