Share folder for other sites: no WJ Blancco release or Wi-Fi password

Browse Source 
stage-usb-share.sh --no-blancco-release leaves out boot-tools/blancco's
vendor release (config.img carries this site's licensing Wi-Fi password and
location) and the unused blancco-uki.efi. The KB's Part 4 now has the site
load its own Blancco 7.20 ISO on Updates > Blancco releases. The Wi-Fi
password is gone from SITE-CUSTOMIZATION.md.

<h3>Blancco</h3>
<p>The <span class="command-inline">pxe-usb</span> folder carries no Blancco release: each site loads its own. Until it does, the Blancco entry in the PXE menu does not boot.</p>

<li>Download <strong>Blancco Drive Eraser 7.20</strong> (the ISO, or the USB image) from the Blancco portal. Use 7.20: a newer version stops at staging until the preferences are merged for it.</li>
<li>Open <strong>Updates &gt; Blancco releases</strong>, upload it under <strong>Release files</strong> and click <strong>Stage</strong>. The server writes the GE preferences (report share, licensing) into it.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add test entry</strong>, boot a test PC from the new entry in the PXE menu, and check that Blancco starts and licenses. Then click <strong>Activate</strong>.</li>

<p>Then fill in <strong>Site settings</strong> on the same page:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Business location</strong>: your site, as it should appear on every erasure report.</li>
<li><strong>Wi-Fi network (SSID)</strong> and <strong>Wi-Fi password</strong>: the internet-only Wi-Fi Blancco joins to license each erasure in the GE Blancco cloud. Usually <span class="command-inline">INTERNETACCESS</span>; the password differs between sites, so get yours from the site network team.</li>
