feat: add Windows distribution build with cross-platform server scripts

Browse Source 
- Add 'make dist' target to build distribution package in dist/
- Add 'make dist-zip' target to create distributable archive (ZIP or tar.gz)
- Create start-server.bat for Windows users (auto-opens browser, starts Python server)
- Create start-server.sh for Linux/Mac users with same functionality
- Generate DIST_README.md with quick start instructions for all platforms
- Add WINDOWS_USAGE.md with comprehensive guide for WSL → Windows deployment
- Update .gitignore to exclude dist/ and distribution archives
- Update CLAUDE.md with distribution build documentation

Distribution package includes:
- Core application files (index.html, engine.js, generator.js)
- All example projects (example/, example-1/, my-project/)
- Documentation (README.md, TEMPLATE_V2_GUIDE.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md)
- Cross-platform server startup scripts

The distribution is self-contained and works on Windows filesystems without
modification. Paths use forward slashes which browsers handle correctly on all
platforms. Users can simply extract and double-click start-server.bat (Windows)
or run ./start-server.sh (Linux/Mac) to launch the application.

The application must be served via HTTP (not opened as file://) due to CORS restrictions when loading CSV, CSS, and SVG files.
### Distribution
```bash
make dist # Build distribution package in dist/
make dist-zip # Build distribution and create archive
```
The distribution package includes:
- All runtime files (HTML, JS, CSS)
- Example projects (example/, example-1/, my-project/)
- Documentation (README.md, TEMPLATE_V2_GUIDE.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md)
- Startup scripts for Windows (start-server.bat) and Linux/Mac (start-server.sh)
Use this to deploy the application to Windows or other environments. The distribution is self-contained and requires only a web browser and Python (for the local server).
**For Windows deployment from WSL**: See `WINDOWS_USAGE.md` for detailed instructions on building the distribution in WSL, transferring to Windows, and running the application on Windows OS.
