Initial project setup: automated PXE server provisioning

Reorganized from OneDrive export into a clean project structure:
- autoinstall/: cloud-init user-data and meta-data for Ubuntu 24.04 autoinstall
- playbook/: Ansible playbook for PXE server config (dnsmasq, Apache, Samba, iPXE)
- unattend/: Windows unattend.xml sample for image deployment
- build-usb.sh: builds a bootable USB with Ubuntu installer + CIDATA partition
- download-packages.sh: downloads all offline .deb dependencies via Docker

Key improvements over original:
- Fully air-gapped: all packages bundled offline, no WiFi needed
- Hardware-agnostic network config (wildcard NIC matching)
- Removed plaintext WiFi credentials
- Single USB build process (was 15+ manual steps)
