feat(udev,flatpak): allow ungoogled-chromium to talk to ZSA keyboards
usevia.app uses WebHID to talk to /dev/hidraw* directly. Two layers were blocking it: 1. Host: no udev rule existed for ZSA boards, so /dev/hidraw nodes were root-only. Add etc/udev/rules.d/50-zsa.rules covering the ZSA VID 3297 (ErgoDox EZ / Moonlander / Voyager) with TAG+=uaccess so logind grants the active session user access. Also include the two bootloader VIDs used during firmware flashing for completeness. 2. Sandbox: the chromium flatpak only sees /dev/dri by default. Add a --device=all override (flatpak has no finer-grained device knob). The host udev rule still gates which hidraw nodes the user can actually open, so this isn't a meaningful escalation. Also wire `udevadm control --reload && udevadm trigger` into the etc deploy script so rule changes apply without a reboot or replug.
