Make network-device detection work without lspci/lsusb installed
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2s

pciutils/usbutils aren't guaranteed present, especially on minimal or
live-boot systems — exactly the kind of environment someone testing
Archipelago compatibility is likely to be running. Rewrote WiFi/ethernet
detection to read /sys/class/net/$iface/device directly first (vendor,
device, driver via uevent — always available, no package needed), the same
approach as manually finding a chip by hand: enumerate interfaces, read
vendor/device IDs from sysfs, get the driver from uevent/modalias. Only
reaches for lspci/lsusb, when installed, to turn a hex ID into a friendly
name; falls back to a small built-in vendor-ID table (Intel, Broadcom,
Realtek, Atheros, MediaTek, Ralink) plus the raw ID + driver name
otherwise. Also now handles USB and SDIO wifi chips, not just PCI.

Found and fixed a real bug while testing this against actual hardware
(this box's virtio NIC): the naive `basename` of the resolved device path
breaks for drivers like virtio-net that wrap the real PCI function one
level deeper in sysfs (.../0000:00:12.0/virtio2) — basename alone grabs
"virtio2", which lspci -s rejects as "Invalid slot number". Fixed by
extracting the last domain:bus:device.function-shaped path component
instead of trusting the final one.

Verified for real, not just written: ran with lspci installed (gets the
friendly "Red Hat, Inc. Virtio network device" name), then genuinely
removed lspci/lsusb from the system (moved the binaries aside, restored
after) and reran — falls back correctly to vendor ID + driver name instead
of erroring or going blank. Passes shellcheck clean both times.
