Fix nix-cache retry storms and lxc creation in create-proxmox-resource.sh
Two independent problems found while actually running the script: 1. nix build/nix-shell retry each unreachable substituter/builder up to 5x with backoff, per store path -- with nix-cache down this compounds into minutes of noise. scripts/env.sh gains nix_extra_opts(), which probes http://nix-cache and nixremote@nix-cache:22 once via plain curl/TCP (bypassing Nix's own retry logic entirely -- confirmed nix store ping still retries 5x even with a short connect-timeout) and exports the decision so create-proxmox-resource.sh and the sync-host-keys.sh subprocess it shells out to both reuse it instead of probing independently. 2. The actual failure: "archive contains no configuration file". pct restore expects a vzdump backup archive with embedded config; config.system.build.tarball is a plain CT template tarball -- wrong Proxmox mechanism entirely. Fixed to pct create against it as a vztmpl template instead, uploaded to /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ rather than /var/lib/vz/dump/. This same wrong claim had propagated into docs/auto-installer.md, README.md, and CLAUDE.md from when the script was first written -- corrected everywhere. Also: checks for an already-uploaded image on the node (fixed <flake_target>.tar.xz/.raw naming) before building, skipping build+upload entirely if found (--force-rebuild to always rebuild).
