Subject: [PATCH] Enable multilib for 32-bit Proton bridge support in distrobox
 install (#52)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* Add distrobox installer/uninstaller for immutable distros

Adds install-distrobox-dev.sh and uninstall-distrobox-dev.sh under
tools/distro/distrobox/, for setting up monocoque + simapi/simd inside
an Arch Linux distrobox container on immutable distros (Bazzite,
Silverblue, etc.) where native package managers aren't available.

The installer enables the multilib repo and installs wine + lib32-glibc
so the 32-bit Proton bridge executables (e.g. acbridge.exe) have the
32-bit dynamic linker they need — without this, bridge processes fail
silently with a bare "No such file or directory".

Fixes two bugs found before submitting:
- install script's chmod/help-text referenced wrapper script names
  without the -dev suffix used by the actual `cat >` heredocs, which
  would abort the script under set -e on the first chmod
- uninstall script targeted the "simracing" container/install dir
  instead of "simracing-dev", which would silently no-op (or worse,
  target the wrong container) for anyone who also has a non-dev
  simracing container

* Fix typo'd URL to simracing-utilities in install script

The repo is actually named cescofry/simracing-utilties (missing "i"),
not simracing-utilities as originally written - the correctly-spelled
URL 404s.

* Fold fixes into the existing install-distrobox.sh instead of a -dev copy

The previous two commits on this branch added new install-distrobox-dev.sh/
uninstall-distrobox-dev.sh files, but tools/distro/distrobox/install-distrobox.sh
and uninstall-distrobox.sh already exist upstream (#41, #47) — the "-dev"
files were a personal working copy (container renamed to simracing-dev)
that should never have been committed as new files.

This removes the -dev files and instead patches the real
install-distrobox.sh directly with the actual fixes:
- Enable the multilib repo and install wine/lib32-glibc, so the 32-bit
  Proton bridge executables (e.g. acbridge.exe) have the 32-bit dynamic
  linker they need — without this they fail silently with a bare
  "No such file or directory".
- Fix the simracing-utilities URL typo (real repo is simracing-utilties).

uninstall-distrobox.sh needed no changes — the container/install-dir
mismatch found earlier was an artifact of the -dev copy's own renaming,
not a bug in the real upstream script.

* Enable multilib + wine/lib32-glibc, fix simracing-utilities URL typo

These are the actual fixes intended by the previous commit's message —
they didn't get staged there because a stale pathspec in the same `git
add` invocation aborted it before reaching this file.
