beatzaplenty 12a2354fad Move auto-install.sh out of Nix config into a real script file
Moves the auto-installer's shell script from an inline Nix string in
modules/installer/common.nix to scripts/installer/auto-install.sh, a
real, version-controlled, directly-editable/shellcheck-able file.
common.nix now wires it in with pkgs.replaceVars, substituting the one
value that actually needs to come from variables.nix (lanDomain) --
every other `${...}` in the script is a literal bash reference, left
untouched. replaceVars fails the build if any @name@-shaped placeholder
is left unsubstituted, so a typo'd or renamed variable is caught at
eval time rather than silently shipping broken.

Verified: built the substituted derivation and diffed it against the
source template -- identical except for the one substituted line, no
leftover unsubstituted placeholders. Full codex-maintenance.sh (secret
grep, fmt, statix, full eval of every host/package including the
installer/pxe artifacts that consume this) passes clean.
