Add --noblank, and fix install.sh exiting early when no relogin is needed

Wall displays must never blank. --noblank applies two layers: an Xorg
ServerFlags snippet with all four timeouts at 0 (covers the DM greeter, and
survives reboots) and an xset line in the i3 autostart (a session or DM can
re-enable the screensaver after X starts). Either alone is insufficient.

Documents the trap that cost time here: `sudo xset ...` targets root's X
connection and silently does nothing, so a `sudo bash noblank.sh` wrapper looks
like it worked while blanking stays fully armed.

Also fixes a latent bug: `[ "$relogin" = yes ] && echo ...` as the final
statement made install.sh exit non-zero under `set -e` -- and skip the closing
instructions -- whenever a relogin was not required.
