Use Home Manager as a NixOS module

Browse source 
Replace the standalone homeConfigurations output with the Home Manager
NixOS module, so a single nixos-rebuild applies both the system and the
user configuration.

- flake.nix: import home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager, set
  home-manager.users.leo, drop the now-unused pkgs let-binding
  (allowUnfree comes from configuration.nix via useGlobalPkgs)
- home.nix: drop home.username/homeDirectory and
  programs.home-manager.enable, all provided by the module
- README.md: remove the separate install and home-manager switch steps

9. Switch to the current version of home-manager `home-manager switch --flake .` Home Manager is included as a NixOS module, so `nixos-rebuild` applies both the
system and the user configuration. There is no separate `home-manager switch`
step, and no home-manager channel is needed.
