Add GitHub Pages and Vercel deployment with improved visualization UI

[Copilot]

Enables production deployment of the quantum network visualization via GitHub Pages (automated) or Vercel (alternative).

Changes

Core Fixes

• nodes.py: Fixed BU-QuNETT node UID mismatch preventing edge rendering
• edges.py: Removed edges referencing undefined nodes (IonQ, UMD-38.982397)

Deployment Infrastructure

• .github/workflows/deploy.yml: GitHub Actions workflow that builds visualization and deploys to Pages on push to main
• vercel.json: Vercel configuration for alternative deployment
• build.sh: Local build script with dependency installation

UI Improvements

• index.html: Landing page with network statistics, feature highlights, and embedded interactive map
  • Responsive gradient design
  • 24 nodes, 27 fiber links displayed in stat cards
  • Direct map embedding via iframe

Repository Hygiene

• .gitignore: Excludes Python cache and generated HTML
• README.md: Deployment instructions for both platforms, network statistics, usage guide

Deployment

GitHub Pages (recommended): Enable in Settings → Pages → Source: "GitHub Actions"
Vercel: Run vercel or connect repo via dashboard
