Force GRUB instead of sd-boot on arm64 and pass --no-nvram to
grub-install, working around the SetVariableRT firmware limitation
that prevents in-place upgrades on RPi5/CM5 hardware.

Remove the 16K page override from the kernel patch, preserving
upstream Talos's default 4K pages. RPi5 hardware works correctly
with 4K pages — the RPi Foundation's 16K default is a TLB
performance optimization (~5%), not a hardware requirement.
Benefits:
- Correct memory accounting (4x less overhead per page)
- Full software compatibility (jemalloc, Longhorn, F2FS, etc.)
- No OOM surprises on control-plane nodes
- Aligned with upstream Talos kernel config

Patch was stale — regenerated from the working checkout to match
the v1.12.3 hack/modules-arm64.txt index.

The talos patch was incorrectly replaced with pkgs-repo changes
(Pkgfile, kernel config). Restored the correct patch that modifies
hack/modules-arm64.txt in the talos checkout.

Regenerated patches to match current upstream checkouts:
- pkgs: updated kernel version, checksums, and config-arm64
- talos: reworked to patch Pkgfile, kernel config, and pkg.yaml
