docs: explain how to actually run the VirtualHere passthrough example

The VirtualHere DualSense recipe linked the `virtualhere-dualsense.ts` SDK
example as a deployable recipe but skipped everything needed to run it: that
VirtualHere is a server (couch) + client (host) pair, and that the example —
like every example — imports `../src/index.js`, which only resolves inside the
SDK repo. A user copying it out had no way to know they must
`bun add @punktfunk/host` and swap that import.

- automation.md: rewrite the recipe into a full walkthrough — the two-sided
  VirtualHere setup, the `-t` verbs, the zero-code hooks version, and a new
  scripted section with exact deploy steps, env vars, and running it as a
  service (its own SIGTERM handler makes `systemctl stop` release the pad).
- sdk/README.md: say how to run an example in-repo vs deployed on a host.
- virtualhere-dualsense.ts: header note on the import swap + service setup,
  since that file is where the doc link lands.
