Docs: add GPU/TUN, update endpoints & tool refs

Documentation updates across guides and function references:

- Added var_gpu and var_tun configuration entries to CONFIGURATION_REFERENCE (GPU passthrough and TUN/TAP support), including features and prerequisites.
- Fixed repository URLs throughout UNATTENDED_DEPLOYMENTS and examples: replaced community-scripts/ProxmoxVED with community-scripts/ProxmoxVE and updated curl usage to the new paths.
- Added an "Advanced Configuration Variables" table and examples (var_os, var_version, var_gpu, var_tun, var_nesting) to UNATTENDED_DEPLOYMENTS; adjusted sample apps, hostnames, and container mappings in batch examples.
- Switched API endpoints in API_FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE and API_USAGE_EXAMPLES from http://api.community-scripts.org to https://api.community-scripts.org.
- Expanded BUILD_FUNC_FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE with container resource/ID management helper descriptions (validate_container_id, get_valid_container_id, maxkeys_check, get_current_ip, update_motd_ip).
- Large edits to TOOLS_FUNC_FUNCTIONS_REFERENCE: renamed/refactored helper signatures and docs (pkg_install -> install_packages_with_retry, pkg_update -> upgrade_packages_with_retry), added new tooling functions (fetch_and_deploy_gh_release, check_for_gh_release, prepare_repository_setup, verify_tool_version) and updated examples and feature notes.
- Updated vm/README.md to list additional VM scripts (new and reorganized examples).

These are documentation-only changes to clarify configuration options, correct links and endpoints, and expand the reference material for tooling and build helpers.

### var_gpu
**Type:** Boolean/Toggle
**Options:** `yes` or `no`
**Default:** `no`
**Description:** Enable GPU passthrough for the container.
```bash
var_gpu=yes # Enable GPU passthrough (auto-detect)
var_gpu=no # Disable GPU passthrough (default)
```
**Features enabled:**
- Auto-detects Intel (QuickSync), NVIDIA, and AMD GPUs
- Passes through `/dev/dri` and render nodes
- Configures appropriate container permissions
- Crucial for media servers (Plex, Jellyfin, Immich)
**Prerequisites:**
- Host drivers installed correctly
- Hardware present and visible to Proxmox
- IOMMU enabled (for some configurations)

### var_tun
**Type:** Boolean/Toggle
**Options:** `yes` or `no`
**Default:** `no`
**Description:** Enable TUN/TAP device support.
```bash
var_tun=yes # Enable TUN/TAP support
var_tun=no # Disable TUN/TAP support (default)
```
**Required for:**
- VPN software (WireGuard, OpenVPN)
- Network tunneling (Tailscale, ZeroTier)
- Custom network bridges

### Advanced Configuration Variables
Beyond the basic resource settings, you can control advanced container features:
| Variable | Description | Options |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `var_os` | Operating system template | `debian`, `ubuntu`, `alpine` |
| `var_version` | OS version | `12`, `13` (Debian), `22.04`, `24.04` (Ubuntu) |
| `var_gpu` | Enable GPU passthrough | `yes`, `no` (Default: `no`) |
| `var_tun` | Enable TUN/TAP device | `yes`, `no` (Default: `no`) |
| `var_nesting` | Enable nesting | `1`, `0` (Default: `1`) |
**Example with GPU and TUN:**
```bash
var_gpu=yes \
var_tun=yes \
var_hostname=transcoder \
