feat(install): support Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm (Python 3.11) alongside Trixie (3.13) (#689)

The installer and scripts/check_system_compatibility.sh share one set of OS rules (scripts/install/lib_os.sh): Bookworm (Debian 12, Python 3.11) and Trixie (Debian 13, Python 3.13) are supported, python3 older than 3.11 stops the install before anything changes, and dhcpcd gets a warning with directions. setcap targets /usr/bin/python3, the apt fallback honours the requirement floors, and the desktop check no longer misreads under pipefail. CI runs the unit and plugin-safety suites on 3.11 and 3.13 (tooling jobs on 3.13); mypy targets 3.11.
