e0c90cce3b Harden setup script: hw-support guard, module reload, ppd-aware profile
- Add Step 0 guard: bail early if kernel's acer_wmi lacks predator_v4,
  instead of looping forever on an impossible reboot
- Preserve other acer-wmi.conf options (dedup stale line, append) rather
  than overwriting the whole file
- Try modprobe reload to activate predator_v4 live; reboot is now only
  the fallback
- read -rp ... || answer=n so non-interactive runs survive set -e
- Set performance via powerprofilesctl when power-profiles-daemon owns
  the platform profile (fixes silent reset on AC/battery, persists);
  raw sysfs write kept as fallback
- Check nvidia-powerd with is-active so a dead-but-enabled service starts
- Single nvidia-smi query reused; output reports actual EC max not a
  hardcoded 60W

Validated end-to-end on the Nitro: predator_v4=Y, ppd=performance,
nvidia-powerd active, GPU at 60W.
