Leads with the RouterOS 7.22+ /app system (catalog + app-store-urls) as the recommended install path, since it handles networking/storage automatically. The old manual /container walkthrough is kept for devices with the EN7562CT CPU (e.g. hEX Refresh), which the /app system doesn't support at all.

Adds scripts/mikrotik/orb-app-store.yml, a custom app-store catalog entry so orb-sensor can be installed straight from the Apps menu.

Storage guidance, the app-store catalog boot-refresh requirement, and
the terminal-command silent-failure gotcha were all found by testing
the new instructions directly against hardware (RB5009UPr+S+), and
separately validated by an independent pass following only the
published doc text.
