iso: launch installer via greetd initial_session (proper seat for cage)

seatd alone didn't fix it (getty-autologin gives cage no logind seat; 5x respawn
then systemd start-limit -> black). Switch to greetd's initial_session, which
creates a real logind session WITH A SEAT and auto-runs cage+calamares (no login
prompt). Calamares' striplive restores the tanin-greet greetd config on the target.
Drop the getty-autologin + /root/.zprofile hack.
