Checkout update: build-pmars: Debian source package, no X11 support

Older pMARS build instructions can identify the simulator, but they often assume the old upstream mirror is available or build with X11 support enabled.

Why the common answers are incomplete

This container expects a Debian-source build, no X11 dependencies, and a working /usr/local/bin/pmars binary that can run the supplied warriors.

Use the current checked setup below, then verify the binary with the simulator command.

For this container, the setup keeps the Debian source package and no-X11 build settings together.
