Converted the image building logic within this repository to a Packer template with the assistance of an LLM.

This is still a work in progress.

Here's how I ran this. Just noting this for future me to document it.

Download the virtio ISO.

curl -LO https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso

Download the Windows Server 2022 ISO: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2195686&clcid=0x409&culture=en-us&country=us

Run Packer.

./build.sh \
    -var "windows_iso_path=$HOME/Documents/windows-server-2022-evaluation.iso" \
    -var "virtio_iso_path=$HOME/Documents/virtio-win.iso" \
    -var "headless=false"

Added @daberkow as a reviewer since we were discussing how to simplify the Windows image building process.
