Remove mention of .generated/ directory and clarify that cloud-init.tf
manages all cloud-init disks, not just branch-specific ones.

Implement dual improvements to enable efficient testing of pipeline changes
without polluting master branch:
1. Add --force flag to create-host script
- Skip hostname/IP uniqueness validation
- Overwrite existing host configurations
- Update entries in flake.nix and terraform/vms.tf (no duplicates)
- Useful for iterating on configurations during testing
2. Add branch support to bootstrap mechanism
- Bootstrap service reads NIXOS_FLAKE_BRANCH environment variable
- Defaults to master if not set
- Uses branch in git URL via ?ref= parameter
- Service loads environment from /etc/environment
3. Add cloud-init disk support for branch configuration
- VMs can specify flake_branch field in terraform/vms.tf
- Automatically generates cloud-init snippet setting NIXOS_FLAKE_BRANCH
- Uploads snippet to Proxmox via SSH
- Production VMs omit flake_branch and use master
4. Update documentation
- Document --force flag usage in create-host README
- Add branch testing examples in terraform README
- Update TODO.md with testing workflow
- Add .generated/ to gitignore
Testing workflow: Create feature branch, set flake_branch in VM definition,
deploy with terraform, iterate with --force flag, clean up before merging.

Implements Phase 1 of the OpenTofu deployment plan:
- Replace single-VM configuration with locals-based for_each pattern
- Support multiple VMs in single deployment
- Automatic DHCP vs static IP detection
- Configurable defaults with per-VM overrides
- Dynamic outputs for VM IPs and specifications
New files:
- outputs.tf: Dynamic outputs for deployed VMs
- vms.tf: VM definitions using locals.vms map
Updated files:
- variables.tf: Added default variables for VM configuration
- README.md: Comprehensive documentation and examples
Removed files:
- vm.tf: Replaced by new vms.tf (archived as vm.tf.old, then removed)

Add automated workflow for building and deploying NixOS VMs on Proxmox including template2 host configuration, Ansible playbook for image building/deployment, and OpenTofu configuration for VM provisioning with cloud-init.
