nixos-anywhere is a great tool for installing NixOS onto a running Linux machine over SSH. It uses kexec to replace the running kernel, then automatically handles disk partitioning and the NixOS build.

This PR adds two new just commands — just add-anywhere and just deploy-anywhere — to streamline deploying my NixOS configuration to arbitrary Linux machines, especially cloud instances (e.g. AWS, GCP) where I don’t have control over boot options.

I plan to merge this PR once I obtain a free ARM instance (4 cores, 24 GB RAM) from Oracle Cloud and can validate the workflow on real hardware.
