Thomas Stallinger fce6e4860c docs: switch provisioning ISO to live medium with auto/interactive boot modes (ADR-0003)

Moves from a Fedora DVD/netinst base (GRUB boots straight into Anaconda
via a static inst.ks= URL, bypassing installer.sh entirely) to a real
live medium. installer.sh runs as an application inside the live
session; backend_launch() starts the native installer explicitly at
the end instead of a boot-time kickstart parameter.

The boot menu offers two entries: a default with a countdown that
leads to an unattended flow, and a manual entry for the branded
interactive flow. The unattended flow is gated on
device.registration_status == "existing" - unknown devices always
fail closed into the interactive enrollment path. Device registration
now documents that this is a condition of registering a device.

Also notes the tension with the installer roadmap's long-term
minimal-medium vision: distribution packages still aren't bundled and
are pulled per install, but the live environment itself makes the
medium larger, accepted for the UX it enables.
