app-misc/alienfx: fix 2.4.3 and 9999 builds, python 3.12-3.14, add Manifest
2.4.3 (still latest upstream release): works with current setuptools
(strip pkg_resources import from setup.py, RDEPEND dev-python/pkg-resources),
real patch for the python-future 'old_div' removal (the old one no longer
applied and was unused), add dev-libs/libusb RDEPEND (pyusb backend),
tabs instead of leading spaces, PYTHON_COMPAT python3_.
9999 tracks git master (needs >=python 3.14, includes the 187c:0551 udev
rule + M18R2 controller class). metadata.xml maintainer filled in.
Test: emerged both in a Gentoo stage3 container; 'alienfx' imports and
reaches the USB probe (no /dev/bus/usb in the container).
