Johan Sandoval 1c531bc2ab Generalize USMT Dash and add a containerized demo mode

Remove all environment-specific data and make the dashboard adoptable
anywhere, then add a demo that runs the real PowerShell services.

- Strip cached device data, internal knowledge-base articles and
  screenshots, server/site names and the old project notes; replace the
  knowledge base with generic sample articles and diagrams
- Move every environment value into Config/usmt-dash.psd1
- Route all infrastructure access in the worker and Get-Software.ps1
  through a provider (Providers/SCCM.ps1), with a config-driven asset
  inventory view instead of a hard-coded custom class
- Add Providers/Demo.ps1: a deterministic simulated fleet whose
  migrations progress in real time, and Demo/New-DemoData.ps1 to seed it
- Server: -Demo makes the API read-only; add get-config and get-logs;
  serve static files only from web/, Documentation/ and an allowlist of
  Data/ files with a path-traversal guard; gzip large responses
- Mirror both services' console output to Data/Logs via a Write-Host
  proxy, and add a terminal panel to the dashboard that streams it
- Demo sandbox (web/demo/demo.js): visitor changes to tags, articles and
  images are kept in the visitor's browser and echoed in the terminals;
  nothing a visitor does reaches the server
- Vendor marked, highlight.js and html2pdf.js instead of loading CDNs
- Dockerfile and compose file for hosting the demo (Coolify-ready)

Manually Start a USMT Backup

Use this when a device in USMT Dash sits at Not Started while its replacement is ready.

Find the device (the Tracked Devices or USMT Status page shows its last ping state).
Restart it. The USMT backup won't start while another user is signed in. Then sign in.
Open Software Center.
- Blank page or "failed to load"? Run Copy:C:\Windows\CCM\ccmrepair.exe, wait for it to finish, then reopen Software Center.
- Still broken? Tag the device in USMT Dash (e.g. Broken WMI) and move on. See WMI Namespace Fix.
Run USMT Backup from the Operating Systems tab.
- Fails immediately? Run gpupdate /force, then Software Center > Options > Sync Policy. Wait a few minutes and retry.
When the button turns grey and shows Installing... the backup is running. You can sign out and move to the next device.

In USMT Dash the row changes to Backup In Progress within one worker cycle, and the scanstate line shows progress.
