feat(uConsole): add disko, backlight fix, GPIO 23, mt7921u

- Add disko flake input + partition config (/boot/firmware, /, /home)
- Add cm5-backlight-fix service as display fallback
- Add enable-gpio23-usb-hub service for internal USB hub
- Add mt7921u kernel module for MediaTek AC1200 WiFi
- Add gpiod package for GPIO userspace control
