The container's genisoimage rebuilds ISOs with a duplicate boot catalog
entry that 7z cannot re-extract ("Break signaled"). This caused cache
restore to fail for new instances.
- Add `cache download <version>` command to download original ISOs
directly using the container's download logic
- Add `_is_rebuilt_iso()` helper to detect rebuilt ISOs (magic byte 0x16)
- Skip rebuilt ISOs in `cache save` and `auto_cache_save` with warning
- Remove magic byte manipulation from restore paths (originals work as-is)
- Update WINCTL_GUIDE.md and readme.md with new cache workflow

- Add AUTO_CACHE=Y/N setting in .env to auto-cache ISOs on stop
- Fix cache restore to copy metadata files (windows.base, windows.ver,
windows.mode, windows.type, windows.args) alongside ISOs so the
container recognizes them as already processed and skips re-download
- Refactor show_usage() into topic-based help with interactive menu
(commands, instances, cache, examples, config) and aligned columns
- Fix clean --data to unregister instances and remove compose files
- Update WINCTL_GUIDE.md and readme.md with all changes

Cache downloaded ISOs so new instances of the same Windows version skip
the 3-6 GB download. Adds `winctl cache` subcommands (save/list/rm/flush)
and auto-restores cached ISOs when creating new instances with --new.

Auto-detect machine architecture via uname and use the correct Docker
image (dockurr/windows for x86, dockurr/windows-arm for ARM64). Block
unsupported versions on ARM with a clear error message, and show
[x86 only] tags in the list command. Compose files now use a
configurable WINDOWS_IMAGE variable with a default fallback.

- Changed restart policy from unless-stopped to on-failure
so Windows shutdown stops the container instead of restarting
- Added RESTART_POLICY env variable to .env.modern and .env.legacy
- Compose files use ${RESTART_POLICY:-on-failure} for flexibility
- Updated WINCTL_GUIDE.md with restart policy documentation
- Updated readme.md with RESTART_POLICY setting
