kevinveenbirkenbach fd54faff65 refactor(ansible): replace pacman installs with package
Migrate most roles from community.general.pacman to the generic package module for better portability. Keep pacman where it is required (system upgrades and Arch-specific tasks). Split VirtualBox setup into an Arch-only task file and add a warning when skipped on non-Arch systems. Update integration test examples accordingly.
