Generalise the deployer beyond Ubuntu with a distro registry and a new
--distro flag (ubuntu default, debian, fedora). Each distro keeps its
own codenames, osinfo ids and per-version minimum RAM/disk. Image URLs
are built per distro (Ubuntu current/, Debian latest/, Fedora resolved
from the release index since it has no "latest" link).
Add --list-images to print the whole catalogue with specs, exposed in
the todo menu ("List available images and specs"); the deploy/download
flows now prompt for the distro first.
Resilient osinfo: when the local osinfo-db does not know an id (e.g.
ubuntu26.04, fedora43+), fall back to virt-install detect=on,require=off
instead of failing. Ubuntu 26.04 (resolute) is now enabled.
Also: throttle the download progress to integer-percent steps (single
updating line on a TTY, at most 101 lines when captured by the menu),
and skip the spurious "network is already active" error by checking the
libvirt network state before net-start.

Replace the fixed 8192 MB / 4 vCPU / 20G defaults with the minimum
resources required by the chosen Ubuntu version (libosinfo/osinfo-db
values): 20.04 -> 2048 MB/5G, 22.04 -> 2048 MB/10G, 24.04+ -> 3072
MB/20G. --vcpus now defaults to 2. This stops a small host from being
starved by an oversized default (an 8 GB VM failed to allocate on a
6.7 GB host) and silences the libvirt "less than recommended" warning.
In the todo menu, leaving the RAM/vCPU/disk fields blank now means
"version minimum" (the flag is simply not passed) instead of forcing
8192/4/20G. Any explicit value still overrides. README regenerated.

The script previously required a manually supplied image path and only
installed the client tools, so a bare host aborted at virt-install with
a missing libvirt-sock. It now derives and downloads the Ubuntu cloud
image from --version, detects and installs the full libvirt+QEMU stack
(daemon and system emulator included) through the host package manager,
then enables libvirtd. Adds a --download-only mode, a hypervisor
preflight check, clean error messages instead of Python tracebacks, and
a bilingual usage guide (README).
