Deploy: --pipe trim -- named-pipe serials to vRIO/vPLASMA for every mode

Browse Source 
Dev-rig policy (2026-07-17): everything on the dev machine runs named pipes
to vRIO until Real-RIO testing -- no com0com. pod-launch --pipe selects the
<mode>_pipe conf (serial1=namedpipe pipe:vrio, serial2=namedpipe
pipe:vplasma); pipe variants of all three deploy templates (auto-staged/
rendered) + a dev-tree net_loop_pipe.conf beside the existing RP one.
Requires the vRIO dist >= 20260716-68e3d1f (VRioPipeService/
VPlasmaPipeService landed there). Arcade cockpits with the physical RIO
keep the plain COM-port confs.
