* Add systemd-based deployment support
- micro init --server: Initialize server to receive deployments
- Creates /opt/micro/{bin,data,config} directories
- Generates systemd template unit (micro@.service)
- Creates 'micro' system user
- micro deploy: Deploy services via SSH + systemd
- Builds linux/amd64 binaries automatically
- Copies via rsync/scp to server
- Manages services via systemctl
- Helpful error messages for common issues
- micro status --remote: Check remote service status
- micro logs --remote: Stream remote logs via journalctl
- micro stop --remote: Stop services on remote server
- Config: Added 'deploy' blocks to micro.mu for named targets
The deployment model:
- systemd is the process supervisor (battle-tested)
- SSH is the transport (standard, secure)
- No custom daemons or platforms needed

* Add deployment documentation
- docs/deployment.md: Comprehensive guide for server deployment
- README.md: Updated deployment section with full workflow

* Fix systemd template escaping and rsync permission warnings
- Fix %i escaping in systemd template (was being interpreted by fmt.Sprintf)
- Handle rsync exit code 23/24 gracefully (metadata permission warnings)
- Add --omit-dir-times to rsync to avoid directory timestamp errors

micro build:
- Default: builds Go binaries to ./bin/
- Cross-compile with --os and --arch
- Docker is optional via --docker flag
micro deploy:
- Requires --ssh user@host
- Copies pre-built binaries (if ./bin/ exists)
- Or syncs source and builds on remote
- No Docker dependency
Go binaries are self-contained. No runtime needed.

Provides a test harness for running micro services in isolation:
h := testing.NewHarness(t)
defer h.Stop()
h.Name("users").Register(new(UsersHandler))
h.Start()
var rsp Response
h.Call("UsersHandler.Create", &req, &rsp)
Features:
- Isolated registry, transport, and broker per harness
- Simple API: Name(), Register(), Start(), Stop()
- Call helpers: Call(), CallContext()
- Assertions: AssertServiceRunning(), AssertCallSucceeds(), AssertCallFails()
- Access to underlying Client(), Server(), Registry()
Note: Due to go-micro's global defaults, each harness tests one service.
For multi-service testing, use integration tests or mocks.
Also fixes README.md example showing conflicting port 8080.

micro run now starts an HTTP gateway alongside your services:
- Web dashboard at http://localhost:8080
- API proxy at /api/{service}/{method}
- Health checks at /health
- Service listing at /services
The experience is now:
$ micro new helloworld
$ cd helloworld
$ micro run
Open http://localhost:8080 to see and call your services.
New flags:
--address :3000 # Custom gateway port
--no-gateway # Disable gateway (services only)
Updated documentation to make this the central experience.
