Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 720a291388 leechblock: switch defaults to gist JSON, seed LevelDB directly, block unsupported browsers
- Replace leechblock_defaults.js with LeechBlockOptions.json fetched from
  private gist (30 block sets, 1568 keys)
- Add seed_leechblock_storage.js: writes settings directly into Chrome's
  LevelDB via classic-level, bypassing content-verification entirely
  - Supports both .json and legacy .js defaults files
  - Chunked writes (individual db.put) to avoid batch size limits
  - Per-profile error isolation; Thorium LevelDB warning demoted to non-fatal
- Add package.json (type:module + classic-level dep) and .gitignore for
  node_modules
- install_leechblock.sh: drop background.js patching, call seeder instead;
  auto-installs classic-level if node_modules absent
- install_pacman_wrapper.sh: deploy .json defaults, seeder, and package.json
  to /usr/local/share/digital_wellbeing; run npm install there
- pacman_blocked_keywords.txt: add browsers not handled by install script
  (Microsoft Edge family, firefox-esr/nightly, opera-beta/dev,
  iridium, slimjet, chromium-dev, qutebrowser, midori)

${SCRIPT_NAME} — Download and wire up LeechBlockNG from GitHub
Usage: ${SCRIPT_NAME} [--version vX.Y[.Z]] [--force] [--install-firefox]
Options:
--version vX.Y Use a specific tag (default: latest from GitHub)
--force Reinstall even if the same version is already present
--install-firefox Auto-install from AMO for detected Firefox-based browsers (requires sudo)
Notes:
- Chromium-based browsers are integrated via a wrapper that passes --load-extension.
A desktop entry "(LeechBlock)" is created so you can launch the browser with the extension.
- Firefox stable requires signed add-ons; GitHub source cannot be permanently installed there.
We'll print safe steps to install from AMO or use Developer Edition for testing.
