polish(dedicated): drive bay title, HDD/SSD optgroups, OS expansion + grouping

Four customer-copy / UX cleanups bundled together:

1. Drive bay title strip — shortGroupLabel() collapses "LFF/SFF/NVMe
   Drive Bays" to just "Drive Bays" everywhere it surfaces (rail
   anchor, configurator section title, BuildSummary line item).
   Each chassis only ever shows one drive bay group, so the
   form-factor prefix was redundant noise.

2. HDD/SSD optgroups in Drive Selection — VSelect now interleaves
   VListSubheader rows ("HDDs", "SSDs", "NVMe") between options.
   Sentinel header values (`__hdr_<cat>`) are filtered in
   onDriveChange so a stray header click can't propagate.

3. OS list expansion — went from 6 entries to 14: added AlmaLinux 8,
   Rocky 8, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Debian 11, Fedora Server 41, FreeBSD 14,
   Proxmox VE 8, Windows Server 2019 (BYOL). Default flipped from
   "No OS" → "AlmaLinux 9" (matching what most dedicated buyers
   actually want — flag and revert via seeder if you'd rather keep
   bare-metal as the default).

4. OS picker grouped by distro — OsGroupSelector renders family
   sections (AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora,
   FreeBSD, Proxmox VE, Windows Server, Other) with a small
   uppercase heading above each row of tiles. metaFor() helper
   maps slug → family + logo path. New SVG logos for fedora,
   freebsd, proxmox; refined geometry on almalinux + rocky + debian.

Reseeded the OS group (deleted old 6 values, recreated 14 with new
ordering). 20/20 dedicated tests still pass. `npm run build` clean.
