Subject: feat(wallpaper): replace nitrogen with feh
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

nitrogen was removed from Arch repos. Migrate to feh:
- Add feh to archsetup pacman installs
- Update .xinitrc, lf, ranger, and monitor script
- feh auto-creates ~/.fehbg for wallpaper restore
