DietPi Trixie has a regression where chromium-autostart.sh calls chromium without the full path. Under xinit, this fails because /usr/bin is not in $PATH, causing xinit to fall back to xterm (which is also not installed).

This is tracked upstream as MichaIng/DietPi#7923, fixed in 2e426bf, shipping in DietPi v10.1.

Until then, our automation script patches the autostart script to use /usr/bin/chromium. The workaround is guarded with a comment to remove it once v10.1 is released.

fix(deploy): work around DietPi Trixie chromium path regression d2d36f5597

DietPi Trixie's chromium-autostart.sh calls 'chromium' without the
full path, which fails under xinit (falling back to xterm, which is
also not installed). This is a known regression fixed upstream in
2e426bf.

Patch the autostart script in our automation to use /usr/bin/chromium
until DietPi v10.1 ships the fix.
