Update first-boot scripts and documentation to change display rotation from Right to Left for reTerminal DM. Enhance Plymouth theme configuration to ensure a single [Daemon] section is used. Update logging messages for clarity regarding boot order changes on Pi 5. Adjust README to reflect new rotation settings for one-shot scripts.

 The reTerminal DM default is portrait. Rotation is set using **wlr-randr** (labwc/Wayland), so nothing is written to `/boot/firmware/config.txt`.
 
 - **One-shot autostart** — A small script runs once when user `pi` first logs into the graphical session:
-  - **`/home/pi/set-rotation-once.sh`** — Waits 5 seconds, detects the output name with `wlr-randr`, then runs `wlr-randr --output <name> --transform 90` (Right / 90° clockwise). Falls back to `DSI-1` if detection fails.
-  - **`/home/pi/.config/autostart/set-rotation-once.desktop`** — Autostart entry that runs the script. Both the script and this desktop file **delete themselves** after a successful run, so rotation is applied only once.

 ## Boot order (network first, then eMMC/SD)
 
-If **`rpi-eeprom-config`** and **`rpi-eeprom-update`** are present (Pi 4/CM4), the script sets the EEPROM **`BOOT_ORDER=0x21`**: try **network** first (0x2), then **SD/eMMC** (0x1). This allows future network boot or re-provisioning (e.g. PXE or USB gadget) before falling back to local storage. The EEPROM update is scheduled for the next reboot; no second reboot is required. If the tools are not available, the step is skipped.
