fix: remove broken WAA submodule, embed startup script (#22)

The vendor/WindowsAgentArena submodule pointed to unpushed local commits
(a956c5b) that don't exist upstream, breaking git-based pip installs.

- Remove submodule entirely (not a runtime dependency)
- Embed the 9-line compute-instance-startup.sh as a constant in cli.py
- Update path references in Azure ML commands to not depend on vendor/
