Subject: [PATCH] cua-driver-bin: point the binary's self-updater at pacman

cua-driver update --apply pipes the vendor installer into bash, which
installs a second copy under ~/.cua-driver and links it into ~/.local/bin,
stepping around pacman and the repository's release gate. Upstream offers
no switch for that path, and a /usr/bin wrapper would not cover it either:
the MCP configurations the binary generates record the resolved executable.

prepare() rewrites the installer URL inside the binary, in place and at
equal length, to file:///usr/lib/cua-driver/pm.sh, a stand-in that declines
and names pacman. The build asserts the URL appears exactly twice before
the rewrite and not at all after it, so an upstream change to the updater
stops the build instead of shipping a live self-updater.

Verified in a clean archlinux:base container: pacman -Qkk is clean, the
CLI and cursor-theme helper still run, and on the nightly channel
update --apply prints the notice, exits 1, and creates nothing under
~/.cua-driver/packages or ~/.local/bin.
