Description

### Problem / Motivation

`sudoedit` is currently (fresh installation of April 2026 ISO) not working out of the box since no editor is set and the default `vi` isn't available. E.g.

```
$ sudoedit /etc/sudoers
sudoedit /usr/bin/vi: command not found
```

### Proposed Solution

Include Arch's `ex-vi-compat` package in the default installation or set the default editor to a different, installed by default editor (vim, nano, ...).
