This adds a separate debian package to the build, containing a
statically-built version of `proxmox-auto-install-assistant`, as
was suggested by Thomas.

Similar how we ship a static variant of proxmox-backup-client.

The binary is placed at /usr/bin/proxmox-auto-install-assistant-static,
with a symlink to it at /usr/bin/proxmox-auto-install-assistant.

Decided to pick this up again, as it recently came up in a discussion.

lintian reports `shared-library-lacks-prerequisites` [0] for the
resulting package, which seems rather irrelevant (or even bogus) in our
case - thus the override.

v1: https://lore.proxmox.com/pve-devel/20240816161942.2044889-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com/

Changes v1 -> v2:
  * rebased on latest master
