v0.7.1: install.sh survives boxes this one's assumptions did not fit

Two portability bugs, both found by pre-flighting a second machine (kdmirah,
a Debian LXC) rather than by reading the script again.

1. `systemctl` existing does not mean a user bus is reachable. Inside an LXC,
   over `su`, or with no logind session, `systemctl --user` fails with
   "Failed to connect to user scope bus". The old check asked whether the
   binary was on PATH, then ran `systemctl --user daemon-reload` under
   `set -euo pipefail` — so the install ABORTED halfway, after the venv and
   before the hermes wiring. It now asks the real question,
   `systemctl --user show-environment`, and on failure installs no units, says
   why (naming XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and the usual causes), prints the three
   commands to run by hand, and continues to hermes.

2. The hermes interpreter was hardcoded to this box's layout,
   /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python. kdmirah installs hermes under
   ~/.local/bin with its venv at ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv. Both are bash
   wrappers that exec their python, so the path is now read out of the wrapper
   (with a pip console-script shebang as the second shape). Verified against
   both machines: each derives its own interpreter and each reports mcp present.

Also: the closing summary no longer prints the dashboard URL and
`journalctl --user -u socialmag-refresh` when no units were installed. Pointing
someone at a journal for a unit that was never created is the same class of lie
as a silent fallback — it reads as working and answers with nothing.

Both branches fired in a sandbox with a fake HOME and two stub systemctls, one
that answers show-environment and one that refuses it. Both exit 0; the
refusing one installs nothing, warns loudly, and still registers hermes.
