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

The data directories contain .gitkeep files, so the empty-directory
check (ls -A) always returned non-empty and cache restore never
triggered. Now checks for *.iso files specifically, which is the
actual condition that determines whether a download is needed.

The container marks processed ISOs with byte 0x16 at offset 0. Restoring
a cached ISO with this byte into an empty data directory caused the
container to skip installation and try to boot a nonexistent disk,
dropping into a UEFI shell. Now resets byte 0 to 0x00 after copying so
the container re-processes the ISO (driver injection, answer file, etc.)
without re-downloading it. Also adds cache auto-restore to cmd_start()
for base versions, not just cmd_new() instances.

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 post-increment to pre-increment in cmd_monitor
((total_count++)) → ((++total_count)) to avoid set -e exit on ((0))
- Added invalidate_cache for accurate real-time status updates

Replace echo with printf '%b' in select_category and select_versions
to properly interpret ANSI escape sequences.

Use printf '%b' instead of cat heredoc to properly interpret
ANSI escape sequences in the show_usage function.
