docs: document working perccli install method for Proxmox

Browse Source 
apt and direct Dell URLs don't work. Working method: curl with referer
header to get the RPM, convert with alien, symlink binary into PATH.
Update both setup-guide and perc-nonraid.sh error message to match.

### Install perccli
Try apt first — it's in the Proxmox repos:
`apt` does not carry perccli. Download the RPM from Dell and convert it:
```bash
apt install -y perccli
```
# Download (referer header required — Dell blocks plain curl)
curl -L \
--referer "https://www.dell.com/" \
--user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36" \
"https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER03559396M/1/perccli-1.17.10-1.noarch.rpm" \
-o /tmp/perccli.rpm
If not found, download the `.deb` manually: go to `dell.com/support`, enter
your service tag, then Drivers → Storage → search "PERCCLI", download the
Linux package, copy it to the host, and install:
# Convert RPM → deb and install
apt install -y alien
alien --to-deb /tmp/perccli.rpm
dpkg -i /tmp/perccli_*.deb
```bash
dpkg -i perccli_*.deb
# Binary lands in /opt/MegaRAID/perccli/ — symlink it into PATH
ln -s /opt/MegaRAID/perccli/perccli64 /usr/local/bin/perccli
# Verify
perccli show
```
