Build nvtop 3.2 from source (apt's 3.0.2 doesn't detect gfx1151)

Ubuntu 26.04 ships nvtop 3.0.2 via apt, which predates the gfx1151
sysfs detection improvements that landed in 3.2.x. Symptom: nvtop
runs but the iGPU doesn't appear.

Drop nvtop from the apt package list, add a from-source build step
that pulls a pinned NVTOP_VERSION, builds with -DAMDGPU_SUPPORT=ON,
and installs to /usr/local/bin (which wins over /usr/bin in PATH).
Idempotent: only rebuilds when the installed version doesn't match.

Run `sudo nvtop` to see container processes — non-root users only
see their own /proc/<pid>/fdinfo entries.
