feat(pxe-boot): add Debian bookworm minimal netboot menu entry
Adds a `fetch-debian-netboot.service` oneshot that downloads the Debian
bookworm netboot kernel and initrd from deb.debian.org on first boot,
stages them under /srv/pxe/http/debian/, and serves them via a generated
debian.ipxe chain script. The service is idempotent — it skips the
download if both files are already present.
Also merges the previously split systemd.tmpfiles.rules and
systemd.services blocks into a single systemd = { ... } attrset to
satisfy statix's repeated-keys lint.

The Debian Minimal entry chains `http://<pxeServerIp>/debian.ipxe`, which loads
