docs: add Variables tables to Part 4 Cluster Deployment (28 files)
- Phase 01 Hardware Provisioning: tasks 02, 04, 05 (01 and 03 already had them) - Phase 02 OS Installation: all 4 tasks - Phase 03 OS Configuration: tasks 01-03, 09, 11-13 (04-07 have Config Reference, 08 has no vars) - Phase 04 Arc Registration: all 4 tasks - Phase 05 Cluster Deployment: all 4 deployment method files (AD+LI portal+ARM) - Phase 06 Post-Deployment: tasks 02-04, 06-08 (01+05 have existing variable tables) Part of implementation standardization - adding Variables from variables.yml sections.
