feat: deprecation warning for snap_daemon system username
Metadata
Current evaluation
Adds typed snap_daemon deprecation metadata and a craft-cli warning; core tests pass, but schema and integration checks fail and 3 review comments remain unresolved.
Suggested action: needs review
Reason: The feature addresses open issue #5448 and the fast, minimum-dependency, and slow unit suites pass. However, the PR has been inactive for 139 days with no reviews, 3 unresolved review comments, and failures in diff-schema, Canonical CLA, OSV-scanner, and three integration checks, so maintainer attention and CI triage are still required.

Issue body
Add a SystemUsernames pydantic model with snap_daemon marked as deprecated, so the JSON schema exposes 'deprecated: true' on that key. Also emit a runtime warning via craft-cli when snap_daemon is used.
