Claude 82932812ae Simplify deb/brew packages to thin wrappers around pip install ...

Remove all non-essential dependencies from both package formats.
The .deb now only depends on python3, pip, and venv. The brew
formula only depends on python@3.13. All other runtime deps
(node, chrome, yt-dlp, wget, ripgrep, etc.) are installed
on-demand by `archivebox install` at runtime.

Removed from brew formula:
- 6 depends_on entries (node, git, wget, curl, ripgrep, yt-dlp)
- on_linux block (pkg-config, openssl, libffi)
- post_install hook (was running archivebox install)
- service block (users run archivebox server directly)

Removed from .deb:
- 6 depends entries (nodejs, npm, git, wget, curl, ripgrep)
- recommends section (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, chromium)

Net: -126 lines across packaging files.
