Add step enable flags to the first-boot configuration, allowing users to control the execution of each step during the initial setup. Update the first-boot script to load these flags from the configuration file, ensuring flexibility in customization. Revise the example configuration file to clarify the default behavior and provide guidance on disabling specific steps. This improves user experience by offering more granular control over the first-boot process.
reTerminal DM4 eMMC provisioning
Automatically deploy or backup the CM4 eMMC when the reTerminal is connected in USB boot mode or when it boots over the network. Uses cloud-init for first-boot configuration.

Quick start
- Read docs/EMMC-PROVISIONING-GUIDE.md for setup and usage.
- Proxmox: Use scripts/deploy-to-proxmox.sh to deploy to a Proxmox host; see docs/PROXMOX-LXC-DEPLOYMENT.md.
- Manual host: Copy scripts from
host/to the host and install the udev rule (see the guide). - Put golden.img in
/var/lib/cm4-provisioning/(or your configured path). When a device is detected (USB or network), the dashboard asks Backup or Deploy.
