pactl is a client-side control utility and is required on
PipeWire-based systems for audio control. pactl was packaged
as part of pulseaudio-server, making it difficult to use
without also installing and enabling the pulseaudio daemon,
which can conflict with pipewire.
Move the pactl binary into a standalone pulseaudio-pactl subpackage
so it can be installed without pulling in the pulseaudio server.
