docs(infrastructure): correct VM/template counts and clarify resource types

Update infrastructure documentation across all files to accurately distinguish
between active VMs (8), templates (2), and LXC containers (4). Previously,
VM templates 104 (ubuntu-dev) and 107 (ubuntu-docker) were incorrectly counted
as active VMs, inflating the total VM count to 10.

Changes:
- CLAUDE.md: Update Quick Reference and Infrastructure Overview sections
- CLAUDE_STATUS.md: Add dedicated VM Templates section with explanatory note
- INDEX.md: Separate templates from active VMs in infrastructure inventory
- README.md: Add VM Templates section distinguishing from active VMs
- Claude_UPDATES.md: Update infrastructure counts in Quick Reference tables
- services/README.md: Correct footer infrastructure counts
- sub-agents/*.md: Update infrastructure context in all agent prompts

This ensures accurate resource tracking and clarifies that templates are
immutable base images for cloning, not running workloads.
