Install otpme and dependencies

pip3 install cython

Pick the install variant matching what this machine should do:

Command	Role
pip3 install otpme	host — client + otpme-agent + PAM + nsscache + offline login. Default.
pip3 install 'otpme[backuphost]'	backup host — backup server for nodes, shares and hosts.
pip3 install 'otpme[ssohost]'	SSO portal host — front-end for the SSO/OIDC web portal. Holds no backend secrets, so it can be deployed into the DMZ.
pip3 install 'otpme[node]'	node — full server install, all features.
pip3 install 'otpme[node,dev]'	full server + dev tools (pytest, coverage, ruff).

The backuphost and ssohost roles are activated by setting BACKUP_SERVER resp. SSO_SERVER to True in /etc/otpme/otpme.conf.
