fix(autostart): run from repo root + visible console at logon

Browse Source 
autostart-run.bat did 'cd /d %~dp0' -> scripts/, but web-vnc.exe/webvnc.conf/
go.mod live in the repo root, so the binary was never found and web-vnc never
started after reboot. Now it cd's to %~dp0.. (repo root).

The task was ONSTART/RU SYSTEM (session 0) so it could not show a window, making
failures invisible. install-autostart.bat now registers ONLOGON /RL HIGHEST as the
current user -> a visible console opens at logon. autostart-run.bat sets a window
title, prints status, stays open while web-vnc serves, and pauses on fatal errors
(no binary / no webvnc.conf) so the reason is visible. Docs updated.

REM install-autostart.bat - register web-vnc as a startup task.
REM Creates a scheduled task "web-vnc" that runs at system startup
REM (as SYSTEM, highest privileges) and launches
REM scripts\autostart-run.bat in the foreground.
REM Creates a scheduled task "web-vnc" that runs at YOUR logon
REM (as the current user, with highest privileges available to
REM you) and opens a VISIBLE console window running
REM scripts\autostart-run.bat. The console stays open while
REM web-vnc serves, and pauses on error so you can see why it
REM did not start.
REM
REM Why logon (not boot/SYSTEM): a task that runs as SYSTEM at
REM boot runs in session 0 and CANNOT show a window on your
REM desktop, so you would never see its output. Running at your
REM logon, in your session, makes the console visible. (If you
REM need it before any user logs in, that requires the hidden
REM SYSTEM/boot variant - which is invisible by design.)
REM Requires administrator rights (auto-elevates).
REM Run set-password.bat first to configure the password.
