Community contribution from @ChrisChrome (tested on Debian 13 headless). Adds scripts/debian-13-setup.sh — server/player/both modes, systemd units, kiosk autologin, and management scripts (status/update/logs) — modeled on the Raspberry Pi setup. Also fixes Chromium fullscreen by detecting screen resolution at runtime (replacing --start-fullscreen), applied to both the Debian and Pi scripts, plus a README entry.
Maintainer review fix: the kiosk wait-loop now polls /api/status (the server's real readiness endpoint) instead of the non-existent /api/health, which had been silently burning the ~120s timeout on every all-in-one boot (bug inherited from the Pi script, fixed in both).
Curl-pipe URLs, --help output, clone-and-run path, and the root-check
error message all referenced pi-setup.sh / setup.sh / screentinker/pi,
none of which exist. Point them all at the actual filename and path:
scripts/raspberry-pi-setup.sh.

Turns the Raspberry Pi script from a basic Chromium kiosk launcher
into a full installer with two modes:
- All-in-One: installs Node.js, clones the repo, runs the server
on port 3001, and launches the kiosk pointing at localhost. One
Pi does everything.
- Player-Only: connects to an existing server; same kiosk behavior
as before but with better Chromium flags and crash-flag cleanup.
Other changes:
- Detects Pi OS Lite vs Desktop and adjusts strategy (startx + vt1
for Lite, plain kiosk launcher for Desktop)
- Auto-login on tty1 for Lite installs
- GPU memory, overscan, console-blanking, and watchdog tweaks
- screentinker-{status,update,logs} management commands
- MOTD with command hints
- Cleans up the legacy remotedisplay.service / kiosk script on
upgrade so old installs migrate cleanly
- set -euo pipefail, root check, architecture check, tee'd log at
/var/log/screentinker-setup.log
