Fix installer basics: syntax, secrets, consolidation

- Untrack archinstall/user_credentials.json; ship .example file and
  add a root .gitignore so real creds stay out of git
- Fix SyntaxError in webinstaller/app.py (malformed "language" entry)
- Drop import-time lshw call in hardware.py
- Consolidate driveval/ and webinstaller/hardware.py into a single
  webinstaller/drives.py with a list_scored_devices() API; step 2
  now renders a proper <select> with name/size/score
- Replace dependancies.txt typo with webinstaller/requirements.txt
  (Flask only — psutil was imported but unused)
