[PATCH datacenter-manager] ui: auto-installer: improve auto-installer command line template

[Christian Ebner]

The auto-generated command line for the auto-installer to be copied
by an user needs to be adapted to include the source image. An
unexpecting user might just copy the command and past it, running
into a not so telling: `Error: free-standing argument is missing`.

Make it clearer that this is a template only and add a template input
file, which leads to the following more telling error messages on
missing or unrelated input files:
- `Error: Source file "SOURCE-INPUT-FILE" does not exist.`
- `Error: The source ISO file is not able to be installed automatically.
  Please try a more current one.`

Applied, thanks!

I renamed the placeholder to INPUT.iso (the .iso hints the file type) and
reword tip to "Replace ..." since "adapt" reads like modifying the file
itself.
