The previous approach installed unclutter and wrote a snippet to /etc/chromium.d/dietpi-unclutter. DietPi's Chromium kiosk autostart (index 11) uses its own launch script and does not source /etc/chromium.d/ files, so the cursor was never hidden.

Changes

Package: Switch from unclutter (transitional, may not exist on Debian Trixie) to unclutter-xfixes
Launch hook: Use /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh — the official DietPi hook that runs inside the X session before the autostart app launches
Flag: Pass -root so unclutter monitors the root X window
CSS fallback: Add cursor: none rules as belt-and-suspenders, hiding the cursor immediately even before unclutter starts
Tests: Updated expectations to match new package name and path

fix(deploy): use DietPi autostart hook for cursor hiding 9239090c90

The previous approach installed `unclutter` and wrote a snippet to
/etc/chromium.d/dietpi-unclutter.  DietPi's Chromium kiosk autostart
(index 11) uses its own launch script and does not source
/etc/chromium.d/ files, so the cursor was never hidden.

Changes:
- Switch package from `unclutter` (transitional, may not exist on
  Debian Trixie) to `unclutter-xfixes`.
- Launch unclutter from /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh,
  the official DietPi hook that runs inside the X session before
  the autostart application launches.
- Pass `-root` so unclutter monitors the root X window.
- Add `cursor: none` CSS rules as belt-and-suspenders fallback,
  hiding the cursor immediately even before unclutter starts.
- Update test expectations to match the new package name and path,
  and narrow the chmod+x absent check so it does not false-positive
  on the legitimate chmod for custom.sh.
