Changes

Changelog-None

1. Replaced minimal pacman installation with the full package list
2. Added rustup installation step
3. Substituted poetry with uv for Python dependency management
4. Switched to the right installation procedure using uv (uv sync --> ./configure --> make install)

In order to test the installation steps, the following bash script has been used:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Usage:
#   ./build_cln_arch.sh [CONTAINER_NAME] [ARCH_IMAGE] [GIT_TAG]
# Defaults:
#   CONTAINER_NAME = cln-arch-build
#   ARCH_IMAGE     = archlinux:latest
#   GIT_TAG        = v26.06.1

set -euo pipefail

CONTAINER_NAME="${1:-cln-arch-build}"
ARCH_IMAGE="${2:-archlinux:latest}"
GIT_TAG="${3:-v26.06.1}"
