fix: start main service after restore for single-boot recovery

install.sh now explicitly starts unifi-on-boot.service after dpkg -i
so on_boot.d scripts run on the same boot as the restore, not requiring
a second reboot. Removed Before=network-online.target from the install
service to prevent a deadlock (main service needs After=network-online.target).

Bumped to v1.0.7.
