`su -` runs through pam_systemd on Manjaro/Arch, creating a new login
session that conflicts with the outer sudo session and detaches the
install from the controlling terminal — making `sudo make install`
appear to end while it keeps running in the background. Replace `su`
calls with `runuser`, which is designed for root-invoked scripts and
skips PAM session management.
Also flips init.sh's non-root branch from `exit 0` (silent success) to
`exit 1` with a clear stderr message, so `make install` correctly fails
when invoked without root.

Implemented a robust retry mechanism for cloning the yay AUR helper during Arch dependency installation.
The new logic retries the git clone operation for up to 5 minutes with a 20-second pause between attempts, allowing the build to proceed even when GitHub intermittently returns HTTP 504 errors.
This improves the stability of Arch container builds, especially under network pressure or transient upstream outages.
The yay build process now only starts once the clone step completes successfully.
