Capture live-session Hyprland output and fall back to a shell

Redirect the live autologin compositor's stdout/stderr to
/var/log/hyprland-live.log, and on exit drop to an interactive shell
showing the return code instead of letting the getty autologin
respawn-loop hide any startup failure behind a blank blinking cursor.
Makes a failed live boot diagnosable and leaves the medium usable.
