fix(desktop): don't let uiohook-napi rebuild abort the whole workspace install
The @backspace/desktop postinstall runs `electron-rebuild -f -w uiohook-napi`, which compiles a native module from source and needs a C++ toolchain (make/g++/python3). On a bare host without those — a typical VPS a self-hoster clones onto — that failure took the ENTIRE `pnpm install` down (exit 255), so the server never installed either, even though uiohook-napi is desktop-only and irrelevant to hosting. Make the rebuild non-fatal: on failure it now prints a clear one-line warning and continues. Machines with build tools (CI, desktop devs) are byte-identical — the fallback never fires; only toolless boxes (which aren't building the desktop app anyway) skip it. Verified on a bare x86 box: full `pnpm install` now exits 0 and the server builds and boots from source. Docs note the build-tool requirement for desktop work and point self-hosters at the Docker installer.
