c-ludenberg a43ebd898e feat: new Antergos NeXT Minimal (Xfce) edition — branding, theme, and packaging
Introduces a lightweight Xfce-based variant of Antergos NeXT to work
around the 2 GB GitHub Releases limit for the full Plasma ISO.

New packages in antergos-packages:
- calamares-branding-antergos-next-minimal: Calamares branding variant
  that says "Minimal (Xfce)" with a notesqml page explaining why this
  edition exists (Plasma ISO exceeded GitHub's 2 GB limit).
- antergos-xfce-theme: GTK 2.0/3.0/3.20 + xfwm4 theme based on Numix,
  recolored to Antergos brand accent (#4A9EFF). Includes xfce-notify-4.0,
  metacity-1, openbox-3, and unity support directories.

packages.yaml updated with both new packages in the build list.
