Claude 06a163614d tools: add mount-network-drive.sh for SMB/CIFS and NFS shares
Interactive script to mount network drives and persist them in /etc/fstab:
- SMB/CIFS: prompts for share path, mount point, credentials (saved to
  /etc/samba/credentials.<name> at 600/root), SMB version
- NFS: prompts for export path, mount point, NFS version
- Tests the mount before writing fstab
- Backs up /etc/fstab before any edit
- Remove flow: unmounts, removes fstab entry, optionally removes creds file
- Shows currently mounted network shares and fstab entries
- Uses nofail + _netdev so a missing share doesn't block boot
