chore(deploy): drop the AWS golden-image build stack

Remove the release-driven Packer AMI/qcow2 pipeline and everything that existed only to feed it: the image.yml workflow, deploy/packer, deploy/lightsail, deploy/firstboot, the AWS Marketplace checklist, and the first-boot smoke test/job.

Keep the cloud-agnostic unattended-install path (cloud-init + install.sh non-interactive) and the Hetzner notes, which never depended on the workflow. Hetzner's snapshot path is dropped too since it relied on firstboot to avoid admin/admin on clones; cloud-init regenerates per-instance credentials on its own.

Update deploy/README, the cloud-init and Hetzner docs, the root README plus its six translations, and .gitattributes to match.

# 3x-ui via cloud-init (generic, no golden image)
# 3x-ui via cloud-init
This is the **secondary** deployment path: a single [`cloud-init.yaml`](cloud-init.yaml)
user-data file that installs 3x-ui non-interactively on a fresh Ubuntu/Debian
VM and generates **unique random credentials per instance**. Use it when you do
not want to build a golden image — it works on any cloud-init platform.
> For AWS Marketplace / reusable images, use the Packer build in
> [`../packer/`](../packer/) instead.
