run-rocky9.py with its QEMU config, port forwards (SSH on 2226) and
cloud-init seed, modelled on the Fedora 44 launcher. Update vm-images for
the rocky9 download target.

run-windows11.py no longer installs Windows or touches ISO/img files: it
creates a QCOW2 overlay on the base image (made by vm-images/build-windows-base.sh)
and, when the disk is created, mounts seed.iso. Windows reads the Unattend.xml
in its root during the specialize and OOBE passes (host name, account, auto
logon, Remote Desktop) and Configure-Windows.ps1 then installs OpenSSH with the
host's key, turns off Windows Update and copies the installer scripts.
The VM hardware uses devices with inbox Windows drivers (IDE/NVMe, e1000e,
ramfb on arm64), since the base image has no VirtIO drivers. Autounattend.xml
moves to vm-images; the vm-images pointer is updated.

81-Toggle-Scale.ps1 writes LogPixels, Win8DpiScaling and AppliedDPI for
the current user; the change needs a restart, so the .bat launcher offers
to restart at the end. It is picked up by the existing NN-*.bat/.ps1
globs and copied to Desktop\Tools.

80-Get-UpdateStatus-Admin.ps1 prints whether the Windows 11 guest is
upgrading or downloading updates (policy, pending markers, services,
processes, BITS jobs, update events, network use); the .bat launcher
elevates and keeps the window open.
The seed ISO and Configure-Windows.ps1 now take every NN-*.bat and
NN-*.ps1, and the first-logon copy goes to Desktop\Tools instead of
Desktop\Installers.

Use windows_arm64_url on ARM64 and windows_x64_url otherwise, instead of
the generic windows_url.

Install it at first logon from the Win32-OpenSSH zip on the seed ISO via
Configure-Windows.ps1 -InstallOpenSSH, replacing the manual 05/06 batch
files. The administrator public key now comes from the host
(SSH_PUBLIC_KEY_FILE or ~/.ssh/id_*.pub) instead of being hardcoded.

Carry the zip for the host architecture in the seed ISO and add
06-Install-OpenSSH-Zip-Admin.bat, which installs from it instead of
Windows Update. Update vm-images.

Replace ramfb with virtio-gpu-pci at 2048x1280 and install the viogpudo
driver from the VirtIO ISO. ramfb has a fixed mode, and keeping both
adapters left Windows with a second, fixed-mode monitor.
Windows Setup and the base image have no viogpudo driver, so on the
launch that creates the system disk the launcher also adds a ramfb ahead
of the config files. The display window shows the first GPU.

The silent installer skips the desktop shortcut option, so the script
creates the shortcut itself.

On Arm64 Windows the VirtIO guest tools installer is an x86 program and the
VirtIO ISO has no Arm64 package for it, so the first-logon script failed there
and the guest had no network (no NetKVM driver). Install the Arm64 NetKVM,
vioserial, Balloon, viorng and vioinput drivers from their folders on the ISO
with pnputil instead.
The OpenSSH Server capability is downloaded through Windows Update, which can
take very long and blocked the rest of the script. Move it, with the
administrator authorized key, into 05-Install-OpenSSH-Admin.bat, which the
script copies to the Installers folder on the desktop to run by hand.
Update the vm-images submodule to the build script that runs on Debian.

Pick qemu-system-aarch64, the AArch64 UEFI firmware and a per-architecture
QEMU config (NVMe disk, virtio-net, ramfb, USB installation media) on arm64,
render the answer file for the target architecture, and move the q35-only
disk and NIC devices out of the shared config. Update vm-images to match
arm64 Windows ISO names.

Relaunch as Administrator through UAC when needed, report success or
failure, and wait for Enter before the window closes. Autounattend.xml
passes -NoPause so the unattended install does not block.

Add -InstallVirtIO and -EnableAutomaticLogon switches to
Configure-Windows.ps1 so it can run standalone on a physical machine.
Autounattend.xml passes both switches during the virtual machine install.

Add run-ubuntu2604.py with its QEMU config files and NoCloud seed. The
launcher follows the Debian 13 one, with UBUNTU_VM_ settings and SSH
forwarded to host port 2225. The seed injects the current user's SSH public
key, uses the USTC mirror (ubuntu-ports on arm64) and installs the GNOME
desktop on first boot. Update vm-images for the ubuntu2604 image target.

user-data is now a template with an @SSH_PUBKEY@ placeholder that
build-seed.sh fills in from SSH_PUBKEY_FILE, ~/.ssh/id_*.pub or ssh-agent.
