Surveyed the install scripts of comparable systemd-installing tools
(Docker, k3s, Tailscale, Ollama, Determinate Systems Nix, flyctl):
none of the daemon installers offer a --user staging mode, because
the resulting install isn't useful — banger inherits that. The
"--user just stages binaries you can't actually use yet" UX was a
trap; remove it before users hit it.
In its place, adopt the cross-tool convention for non-interactive
runs: the BANGER_INSTALL_NONINTERACTIVE=1 env var is friendlier
through a curl|bash pipe than `bash -s -- --yes` because the env
var can sit on the same line:
curl -fsSL ...install.sh | env BANGER_INSTALL_NONINTERACTIVE=1 bash
The --yes flag still works for direct script invocation.
