feat(§3.3): Complete In-VM Git Clone implementation

Add guest-side clone mode to Invoke-RemoteBuild.ps1:

Changes:
1. Update DESCRIPTION: document Mode 1 (host) vs Mode 2 (guest) clone
2. Add params: CloneUrl, CloneBranch, CloneCommit, CloneSubmodules
3. Mode validation: enforce mutual exclusion (HostSourceDir XOR CloneUrl)
4. Conditional source prep:
   - Mode 1 (default): compress host source, zip-transfer, expand in guest
   - Mode 2 (§3.3): clone repo directly in guest via git

Guest clone implementation (§3.3):
- Clone with --depth 1, --branch specified, optionally --recurse-submodules
- Checkout specific commit if provided (handles shallow history edge case)
- PAT handling per §1.5: read from Credential Manager (placeholder),
  passed as env var in WinRM session, cleaned up immediately after clone
- No PAT in argv, logs, or transcript — only in session env scope

Prerequisite: Git for Windows in template (§6.6, complete)
Testing: E2E with nsis-plugin-nsinnounp (-UseGitClone flag)

 .SYNOPSIS
-    Copies pre-cloned source from host into a build VM and runs dotnet build.
+    Executes a build inside a guest VM (via WinRM). Supports two clone modes:
+    (1) Host-side clone: copy pre-cloned source via WinRM zip, or
+    (2) Guest-side clone: clone repo directly in VM via git (§3.3, requires Git)
 
 .DESCRIPTION
-    The caller (Invoke-CIJob.ps1) is responsible for cloning the repository
+    Called by Invoke-CIJob.ps1 to orchestrate the build inside the VM.
-    on the HOST before calling this script. This script then:
-      1. Compresses the local source tree on the host, copies the archive into
-         the VM via WinRM (single file = much faster than recursive Copy-Item),
-         then expands it inside the VM.
-      2. Runs dotnet restore and dotnet build inside the VM
-      3. Packages the output as C:\CI\output\artifacts.zip inside the VM
 
-    The build VM does NOT need internet access or git. All network I/O happens
+    **Mode 1: Host-side (default)** — Caller provides pre-cloned source:
-    on the host before this script is called.
+      1. Compresses the source tree on host, copies archive into VM via WinRM
+      2. Runs dotnet restore + dotnet build inside VM
+      3. Packages output as C:\CI\output\artifacts.zip
+
+    **Mode 2: Guest-side (§3.3, -UseGitClone in Invoke-CIJob)** — Repo cloned in VM:
+      1. Clone repo directly into VM via git (eliminates host-zip-transfer overhead)
+      2. Runs dotnet restore + dotnet build inside VM
+      3. Packages output same as Mode 1
+
+    Supply either -HostSourceDir (Mode 1) or -CloneUrl (Mode 2), not both.
+
+    In Mode 2, PAT for private repos is read from Credential Manager inside
+    this script's WinRM session (§1.5: no argv, no log, cleanup at end).
