feat(cli): guided encrypted-image wizard (default) + remote-unlock

Add a guided setup: one interactive command that asks everything up front then
builds an encrypted, Tor-remote-unlockable image unattended (distribution,
target device, hostname, login user + key, password), creating or renaming the
login user and installing the SSH key for both unlock and post-boot login.

- wizard.py: _collect (all prompts) + _execute (autonomous build); renames a
  stock pi/alarm user or creates one, grants sudo, installs the login key.
- unlock.py + `lim --type remote-unlock`: reach the initramfs over Tor (onion,
  torsocks) or plain SSH (host/IP), run cryptroot-unlock or the passphrase
  prompt; the wizard persists a target record under ~/.config/lim/unlocks.
- cli.py: register guided (default --type) and remote-unlock; drop the
  deprecated --extra argument.
