blancco: quiet PXE boot, full trace with blancco.debug=1

Browse Source 
The UEFI loader ran under set -x and printed modprobe -v, ip link and
ip addr, and neither kernel cmdline had quiet, so the screen scrolled
hundreds of lines before the Blancco GUI. Now:

- quiet loglevel=3 on both Blancco kernel lines (also quiets systemd)
- init clears the screen and prints one line per step
- blancco.debug=1 on the cmdline restores the old trace
- failure paths still print their diagnostics and drop to a shell

Live GetPxeScript.aspx changed to match (backup
.bak-20261005-pre-quiet) and kexec-initrd.img rebuilt.
