feat: [#28] Phase 1 foundation - rename 'local' environment to 'development'

- Rename local.defaults → development.defaults for consistency
- Update all script references from 'local' to 'development' environment
- Update Makefile default ENVIRONMENT from 'local' to 'development'
- Update function names: setup_local_environment → setup_development_environment
- Update help text and documentation references
- E2e tests pass: Complete twelve-factor deployment workflow validated

This establishes the foundation for multi-provider architecture by
eliminating confusion between environment names and provider concepts.
Environment 'development' clearly indicates configuration type, while
providers (libvirt, hetzner, etc.) indicate deployment target.

Phase 1 foundation completed successfully - ready for provider interface implementation.
