Remove legacy sound card detection and ALSA mixer configuration from all audio driver stage scripts. Standardize volume setup to only use PipeWire default sink setting across all driver variants.

…@1000 dep Match the post-florian-asche#42 pattern already used by 02-stage-audiodriver-2michat-v1: call `wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 1.0` after the amixer tune so the PipeWire default sink lands at unity, and add `After=/Wants=user@1000.service` + `Environment=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000` to the unit so wpctl can reach the user PipeWire socket. The amixer tuning stays — unlike WM8960 on v1 or the DSP-driven lite board, the TLV320AIC3104 on the V2.0 HAT ships with `HP DAC` at -23.5 dB and `HP` at ~89%, so wpctl unity on its own still yields a stuck-quiet card.

Drop the `PCM 85%` amixer set: PipeWire drives PCM as hardware volume passthrough, so wpctl unity immediately overwrites whatever we set PCM to. Verified on satellite-bedroom: `amixer set PCM 50%` then `wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 1.0` leaves PCM at 100%. Keeping the line made the intent misleading ("85% for headroom") while having zero effect on the final state. The rest of the amixer tuning stays — unlike WM8960 on v1 or the DSP-driven lite board, the TLV320AIC3104 on the V2.0 HAT ships with `HP DAC` at -23.5 dB and `HP` at ~89%. Those stages are downstream of the PipeWire-managed PCM, so wpctl unity on its own still yields a stuck-quiet card.
