fix: install system dependencies before Reticulum to provide libffi-dev

Browse source 
Move system dependencies installation (Step 1) before Reticulum installation
(Step 2) to ensure libffi-dev is available when RNS installs its dependency
cryptography, which requires cffi compilation on armhf (32-bit ARM).

Root cause: RNS dependency chain (RNS -> cryptography -> cffi) triggered
cffi source compilation during pip install rns, before libffi-dev was
installed in the old Step 2.

New order:
1. Basic prerequisites (python3, pip, git)
2. System dependencies (including conditional libffi-dev for armhf)
3. Reticulum installation
4. Python dependencies (bleak, bluezero)

The libffi-dev package remains conditional for armhf only - x86_64 and
arm64 have pre-built cffi wheels and don't need compilation.
