R.I.P. Cnchi — Calamares is now the primary installer

- Main install button now launches calamares-next instead of cnchi
  - Button label changed from 'Launch Cnchi Installer' to
    'Install Antergos NeXT'
  - Removed 'Alternative Installer' (Calamares) button — no longer
    needed since Calamares is the only installer
  - Welcome song path updated: /usr/share/cnchi-memes/ →
    /usr/share/antergos-next-memes/ (memes package repurposed)
  - Release notes page: added Cnchi retirement notice with eulogy
  - Readme page: updated instructions, removed cnchi-next link

+The original Antergos GTK4 installer was too unstable to maintain. Calamares is now the sole installer — more capable, upstream-supported, and ready for the future.

+<b>🕯️ A note on Cnchi</b>
+
+The original Antergos installer (Cnchi) has been retired. It was briefly revived for NeXT as a GTK4 port, but proved too unstable and maintenance-heavy to carry forward. Calamares is now the sole installer — mature, upstream-supported, and more capable than Cnchi ever was. This was not an easy decision, but the right one.
