limine-snapper.sh: use limine-update + purge stale UKIs

mkinitcpio -P alone doesn't trigger limine's UKI pipeline. The
limine-mkinitcpio-hook package installs /etc/pacman.d/hooks/90-mkinitcpio
-install.hook (overriding mkinitcpio's normal hook) which executes
/usr/share/libalpm/scripts/limine-mkinitcpio-install only on pacman
transactions, OR via the limine-mkinitcpio / limine-update CLI wrappers.

The previous fix (mkinitcpio -P) rebuilt initramfs-linux.img but left
the stale empty-cmdline UKI at /boot/EFI/Linux/<machine-id>_linux.efi
untouched. limine-update then booted that file.

Changes:
- Validate the cmdline extracted from /boot/limine.conf: fail loudly if
  empty or missing root=
- Delete every alternate /boot/limine.conf so limine-update can't pick
  the wrong one
- Delete stale UKIs for every installed kernel pkgbase before rebuilding
- Replace 'mkinitcpio -P' with 'limine-update' (which does
  limine-install + limine-mkinitcpio, reading KERNEL_CMDLINE from
  /etc/default/limine via limine-entry-tool and embedding it into a
  fresh UKI)
- Assert /boot/limine.conf has the Omarchy entry and (for encrypted
  installs) the cryptdevice= cmdline before continuing
