Tobias GesellchenandClaude Sonnet 5 ec340847f2 fix(install): preflight disk-space check before replacing the live binary
The gzip fix in the previous commit only helps once a backup is being
made; it doesn't address the actual moment that broke on real hardware:
the cross-device mv/copy of the new binary into place ran out of space
mid-write, leaving a truncated, non-executable binary as the live one.
UBIFS is a log-structured flash filesystem, so space "freed" by
overwriting the old binary isn't guaranteed reusable in time for the new
one to land -- this happened on a device with 15.7MB available against
a ~14.8MB binary.

Add a preflight check before downloading anything: fetch the new
binary's real size via a HEAD request (adapts automatically as binaries
grow, instead of a threshold that goes stale every release) and compare
against available space plus a flat 5MB safety margin.

- Comfortably enough room for old + new + a compressed backup: proceed
  exactly as before, silently.
- Enough for old + new but not enough extra for a backup: warn
  interactively and require explicit confirmation before proceeding
  without one. Reads from /dev/tty since the script is normally piped
  via `curl | sh` (stdin is consumed by the script itself). Defaults to
  the safe choice (abort) on empty input, matching the [y/N] prompt.
  AFTERTOUCH_FORCE_NO_BACKUP=yes overrides for non-interactive/scripted
  use.
- Not enough room even for the replace itself: abort before starting
  the download, rather than attempting a doomed download/replace that
  could leave a truncated live binary.
- No TTY available and the operator didn't set the override: abort
  rather than silently guessing.
- HEAD request fails for any reason: skip the check with a warning
  rather than blocking the install on it.

Verified: all five decision branches (plenty of room, warn+decline,
warn+confirm, warn+forced-override, hard abort) produce the correct
result under both dash and a real BusyBox v1.38.0 container, including
the gzip/gunzip streaming backup and glob-based pruning from the
previous commit. The HEAD-request size lookup was separately verified
against a live GitHub release URL with real curl -- catching and fixing
a bug where naively taking the first "content-length:" header grabbed
the 302 redirect's (0), not the actual asset's, size. Not yet re-tested
end-to-end on real hardware.
