docs: document disk images, installer, vendor packaging, and secure boot

- docs/secureboot.md: MOK workflow (generate, build, enroll).
- docs/building.md: image + install quickstart, new outputs, ARCLINE_SIGN.
- docs/observability.md: vendor .debs are now the primary packaging path.
- docs/editions.md: cloud ships a qcow2; qemu test command.
- docs/architecture.md: full pipeline table incl. deploy/install; the
  four follow-up items are now implemented; new "on the horizon" list.
- README: updated feature list, quickstart, and status.

Each artifact ships with a `.sha256` checksum file.
## Disk images & installing
- `make image-<edition>` builds a bootable **qcow2** disk image (the cloud
edition's primary output; also handy for VM-testing server/workstation).
Options: `--format raw`, `--size 4G`, `--boot efi`.
- `scripts/install.sh /dev/sdX --edition server` installs a built rootfs onto
a real disk (asks for explicit confirmation, then partitions, lays out
btrfs subvolumes, installs GRUB, and writes a real fstab). Both reuse the
shared `scripts/deploy-disk.sh`.
## Secure boot
Optional, MOK-based. See [secureboot](secureboot.md):
```bash
scripts/secureboot/gen-keys.sh
ARCLINE_SIGN=1 make iso-server
```
