Replaces the static menu GIF on the org profile with the new animated SVG of the cyan iPXE boot menu (the selection bar sweeps the items on a loop). Pure SMIL/CSS, so it animates in the README; centered and linked to https://netboot.xyz so clicking it lands on the real interactive menu.

Asset: https://netboot.xyz/img/boot-menu.svg (added in netboot.xyz-docs#192, live — verified HTTP 200, image/svg+xml).

-![netboot.xyz menu](https://netboot.xyz/images/netboot.xyz.gif)
+<p align="center">
+  <a href="/browse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnetboot.xyz%2F">
+    <img src="/asset?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnetboot.xyz%2Fimg%2Fboot-menu.svg" alt="netboot.xyz iPXE boot menu" width="800">
+  </a>
+</p>

If it doesn't animate after merge: GitHub proxies images through camo, which usually animates SMIL SVGs (the typing-svg badges work this way), but if it serves a static frame, the fix is to commit the SVG into this repo (e.g. profile/boot-menu.svg) and reference it by relative path. Happy to follow up with that if needed. The old gif is untouched and still served, so reverting is trivial.
