DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 85532a54f3 Wait for a new container to finish setting up before entering it
container-up.sh starts the dev container in a scope of its own, so
distrobox enter finds it running and skips its wait for distrobox-init.
On a fresh install, init was still setting up passwordless sudo when
dev-container.sh ran sudo dnf install, and sudo asked for a password
with no terminal to read it from. container-up.sh now waits for
container_setup_done itself, and the container's sudo calls use -n,
so a password prompt fails at once with a clear message.

Fixes #9
