chore(release): archive ISO build recipes, tarball-only releases

Releases no longer ship as bootable ISOs. Archipelago updates are
distributed as the backend binary plus a frontend tarball referenced by
releases/manifest.json. Nodes OTA-update via scripts/self-update.sh.

Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and
deployed atomically, verified present in v1.7.43-alpha release artifact
(189 AIUI files, filebrowser-client bundle).

Archived under image-recipe/_archived/ (resurrectable if ISO distribution
is reintroduced):
  - build-auto-installer-iso.sh
  - build-unbundled-iso.sh
  - test-iso-qemu.sh
  - scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh
  - BUILD-ISO-STATUS.md, ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md
  - branding/isohdpfx.bin
  - .gitea/workflows/build-iso-dev.yml

Updated release process docs to drop ISO references:
  - scripts/create-release.sh (next-steps text)
  - docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md
  - docs/hotfix-process.md
  - README.md
