install.sh: stage live image and auto-restart on upgrade

Single-command upgrades were leaving /var/lib/vetting/live/ stale on
PXE-enabled LXCs because install.sh explicitly punted live-image
staging to pxe-setup.sh. That was right when make-release ran on a
dev box, but the new registry-pull flow ships vmlinuz+initrd.img
inside the bundle — they should land in place during every install.

install.sh now:
  - auto-detects live-image/{vmlinuz,initrd.img} (release bundle
    layout) or ../live-image/build/ (repo dev checkout) and stages
    them into --live-dir (default /var/lib/vetting/live).
  - restarts vetting.service when already enabled, so the
    curl | sudo bash one-liner is the full upgrade loop. First-
    install path still leaves the service stopped for config edits.

pxe-setup.sh's own live-image copy is now redundant on upgrade but
still runs for first-time PXE setup (it also writes the pxe: block
of vetting.yaml, which install.sh has no business touching).
