bee.nvidia.mode=gsp-off loads the driver with NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 and
skips nvidia-uvm/nvidia-modeset, so CUDA (nvbandwidth/dcgm/nccl) can't run —
and on Hopper H200 GSP is effectively mandatory anyway, so the mode is dead
weight in this test image. Remove it from every boot entry. fail-safe is now
bee.nvidia.mode=normal pci=realloc iommu=pt, so the GPUs come up with uvm and
the GPU test actually runs under iommu=pt (the point of the entry). All four
sources (grub.cfg + live.cfg.in templates, build.sh write_canonical_*) match.
The internal GSP auto-fallback in bee-nvidia-load (normal mode, GSP init
hangs >90s → retry with EnableGpuFirmware=0, then still load uvm) is left
intact — it serves converted SXM->PCIe cards on other test targets and keeps
CUDA working, unlike the removed explicit menu mode.

no-GUI is now just the normal entry minus the GUI: bee.gui=off with
bee.nvidia.mode=normal (drops the previous gsp-off/pci=realloc it had picked
up). fail-safe is now simply the GPU/PCIe-workaround boot —
bee.nvidia.mode=gsp-off pci=realloc iommu=pt over the standard base — instead
of the old noapic/nodma/nomce/nolapic/nosmp minimal mode, so it can actually
run GPU tests (nvbandwidth) to verify the iommu=pt half of the vendor fix.
Applied identically across all four sources (grub.cfg + live.cfg.in templates
and build.sh write_canonical_* generators).

The GRUB and isolinux menus (and their two sources of truth — the staged
templates and build.sh's write_canonical_* generators that rewrite the built
menu) had drifted: GRUB shipped a lean set, isolinux carried extra
display-debug entries (gsp-off, kms, kms-gsp-off) and lacked a WIPE entry in
the canonical writer. Collapse all four to one set:
normal, load-to-RAM (default), no-GUI/troubleshooting (gsp-off, pci=realloc),
fail-safe, WIPE ALL DISKS, Memory Test, + UEFI Firmware Settings (EFI only)
The fail-safe entry gains iommu=pt (AMD-Vi passthrough) — the OS-side half of
the vendor fix for the MSI CG480-S6053 cross-socket nvbandwidth reboot; ACS
can't be toggled from a stock-kernel cmdline so that stays a BIOS setting.
default stays index 1 = toram (config.cfg set default=1).

Adds a "WIPE ALL DISKS" entry to both GRUB and isolinux menus (bee.wipe=all).
Includes bee-wipe-disks for manual use from a running live system.

grub-efi/grub.cfg: add KMS+GSP=off entry (was in isolinux, missing in GRUB)
isolinux/live.cfg.in: add full standard param set to all entries
(net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 mitigations=off transparent_hugepage=always
numa_balancing=disable nowatchdog nosoftlockup) to match grub-efi
bible-local/docs/iso-build-rules.md: add bootloader sync rule documenting
that grub-efi and isolinux must be kept in sync manually, listing canonical
entries and standard param set, and noting the grub-pc/grub-efi history.

- grub.cfg + isolinux/live.cfg.in: add pcie_aspm=off,
intel_idle.max_cstate=1 and processor.max_cstate=1 to all
non-failsafe boot entries
- bee-hpc-tuning: new script that sets all CPU cores to performance
governor via sysfs and logs THP state at boot
- bee-hpc-tuning.service: runs before bee-nvidia and bee-audit
- 9000-bee-setup.hook.chroot: enable service and mark script executable

Default boot no longer loads ISO to RAM (slow on BMC virtual media).
Separate menu entry added for toram in both GRUB and isolinux.
