feat(scripts): lxc-mcp-install env-var overrides + repo clone fallback

- All prompted values overridable via env vars (MCP_API_KEY,
  MCP_SERVICE_KEY, BACKEND_URL, INSTALL_DIR, etc.).
- Clone the repo into INSTALL_DIR if it isn't already present, so the
  script can be fetched and run directly inside a fresh LXC created by
  the community-scripts/ProxmoxVE helper (no manual git clone first).
- README: clarify the Proxmox flow (community-scripts creates the LXC,
  user runs this script inside it).

+# Install / enable the Homelable MCP server as a systemd service.
+#
+# Run interactively as root, inside an LXC or any Debian/Ubuntu host.
+# Typical Proxmox VE flow: create the LXC via the community-scripts/ProxmoxVE
+# helper, then run this script inside that LXC.
+#
+# Idempotent: re-running is safe. If mcp/.env already exists, the script
+# keeps it untouched and only refreshes the venv + systemd unit.
+#
+# Optional env vars (override defaults / skip the matching prompt):
+#   INSTALL_DIR     repo root (default: /opt/homelable)
+#   REPO_URL        clone URL if $INSTALL_DIR is empty (default: https://github.com/Pouzor/homelable.git)
+#   REPO_REF        branch/tag/commit when cloning (default: main)
+#   SERVICE_USER    systemd User= (default: homelable)
+#   MCP_PORT        listen port (default: 8001)
+#   MCP_API_KEY     client → MCP key (default: prompt, auto-gen on empty)
+#   MCP_SERVICE_KEY MCP → backend key (default: prompt, auto-gen on empty; must match backend .env)
+#   BACKEND_URL     backend base URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000)
