Subject: [PATCH] feat(iot-hub): add find-or-create for rule chains in device
 install

Reuse existing rule chains by name (same pattern as device profiles).
Shared entities (device profile, rule chain) are looked up before creation.
Per-install entities (device, dashboard) are always created fresh.
