Add VM connectivity troubleshooting and HTTP workaround

VM cannot connect via HTTPS due to self-signed certificate errors.

Added:
- test-vm-connectivity.ps1: 5-step diagnostic for VM
- agent/QUICK-FIX-VM.md: Use HTTP for Hyper-V local network
- open-firewall-for-vm.ps1: Open Windows Firewall

Since VM and host are on same physical machine (Hyper-V internal
network), HTTP is acceptable for local monitoring.

For production: Use proper TLS certificates.

# Quick Fix: Agent Can't Connect from VM
## Problem
SSL certificate errors when connecting from VM to host.
## Solution: Use HTTP on Local Network
Since the VM and host are on a trusted local network (Hyper-V), use HTTP instead of HTTPS.
### On VM - Set HTTP in Registry:
```powershell
# On VM (as Administrator):
New-Item -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB' -Force
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB' -Name 'BaseUrl' -Value 'http://172.31.96.1:5001'
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE\ShopDB' -Name 'CollectorKey' -Value 'shopdb_pat_b4a3fe2a01abc6bc1cb685280e65a8c35d52ec43'
```
### Test it works:
```powershell
# On VM:
curl.exe http://172.31.96.1:5001
# Should return HTML
```
### Then run the agent:
```powershell
cd C:\ProgramData\ShopDB\EndpointAgent
.\shopdb-endpoint-agent.exe --once
```
## Why HTTP is OK Here
- ✅ VM and host on same physical machine (Hyper-V)
- ✅ Traffic never leaves the host
- ✅ Hyper-V internal network is isolated
- ✅ No external network exposure
For production multi-machine deployment, use HTTPS with proper certificates.
## Alternative: Fix HTTPS (More Complex)
If you need HTTPS:
1. Export the self-signed cert from host
2. Import to VM's Trusted Root Certification Authorities
3. Use HTTPS URL
