GitHub issue #8: Home Assistant on a server or virtual machine is out of
reach of the screen. New screen and Firmware & USB get a Download choice:
ESP Screens builds the profile's firmware as always and offers ESPHome's
factory image, which the owner flashes with ESPHome Web in Chrome or Edge.

- Firmware: a download job compiles without uploading; only the image of
  the profile's latest successful build in this process is served, a new
  job withdraws it, and a build without a factory image fails.
- USB on the Home Assistant machine stays first in both lists, also before
  a board is plugged in; Download and Later stay chosen once picked.
- The not-yet-in-Home-Assistant card knows a downloaded screen.
- The device name pattern is valid again under Chrome's v flag.
- Docs: README, DOCS, EASY_SETUP, DOCKER, TROUBLESHOOTING. App only;
  firmware stays 0.2.58.

The profile with unique keys goes into the ESPHome folder of the HA configuration,
any missing Wi-Fi goes into `secrets.yaml` (existing secrets are left untouched), and the
build and flash run in the same window; it then shows the API key
for pairing. Pairing itself happens in Home Assistant under **Settings → Devices & services** (a button in the window and on the *not yet in Home Assistant* card under My screens). Each screen has its own profile. **Settings → Firmware & USB** is
