cproudlock 70f176650b Blancco: playbook now produces working Ubuntu-kernel initramfs out of the box ...

Companion to the previous commit (4550d43). Three files that should have
been in the same commit but got left out of `git add`:

- .gitignore: negate rule for boot-tools/blancco/grub-blancco.cfg so the
  tracked cfg (source of truth for grubx64.efi rebuilds) survives
  the blanket boot-tools/ ignore.

- playbook/blancco-init.sh: rewritten for modprobe-with-deps, full NIC
  driver coverage, set -x trace to /dev/console, dmesg + PCI-device +
  /proc/modules dump + interactive shell on "no NIC after 60s".
  Replaces the narrow insmod-loop version that silently hung on
  unsupported NICs.

- playbook/pxe_server_setup.yml "Build Blancco PXE initramfs" task now
  sweeps the full drivers/net/ tree (ethernet + phy + mdio + usb + fddi
  + wan) plus overlay / squashfs / loop / ptp / libphy / mii deps, runs
  depmod to regenerate modules.dep inside the initramfs (required for
  modprobe dependency resolution), and symlinks the full applet list
  blancco-init.sh needs (modprobe, insmod, dmesg, find, env, etc).
  Result: ~20 MB initramfs vs the old 2 MB narrow build.
