bootstrap.sh self-elevates with sudo; USB install docs rewritten

bootstrap.sh: add self-elevation — if not root, re-exec under sudo.
Double-clicking the script in GNOME ("Run in Terminal") now prompts for
the sudo password automatically, no extra commands needed.

README: rewrite USB section around the real workflow:
  - clone with "Open in Terminal" from the file manager sidebar
  - Option A: right-click folder → Open in Terminal → sudo ./setup.sh
  - Option B: double-click bootstrap.sh → "Run in Terminal?" → sudo prompt
  - note on nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal and exFAT vs ext4

# One command to paste into a new Ubuntu box:
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install/main/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash
#
# Or double-click it in the file manager ("Run in Terminal") — it will
# prompt for your sudo password automatically.
#
# What it does:
# 1. Installs git if missing (the only hard dependency)
# 2. Clones (or updates) the repo to ~/ubuntu-post-install
# 3. Launches the interactive setup wizard
set -euo pipefail
# Self-elevate: if not root, re-exec under sudo so a plain double-click works.
