feat(pxe-boot): mount pxe-images NFS share and symlink to /srv/pxe/http/images
Adds modules/pxe-boot/mount-pxe-images.nix, which mounts server.sweet.home:/tank/proxmox/pxe-images at /mnt/pxe-images via NFSv4.2 (x-systemd.automount on Proxmox VMs, nofail on LXC containers — same pattern as docker/mount-data.nix). The pxe-boot build-type now imports this module and replaces the previous local /srv/pxe/http/images directory rule with an L+ symlink pointing to /mnt/pxe-images, so large images (ISOs, disk images) live on the NFS share rather than the host's own root disk.
