feat: support binary self-replacement in upgrade command#81

Detect whether archgate was installed via direct binary (install.sh/ install.ps1) or npm package manager, and upgrade accordingly. Binary installs fetch the latest release from GitHub Releases API, download the platform-specific archive, and replace the running binary in-place. On Windows, uses rename-then-replace since a running exe cannot be overwritten directly. Extracts binary upgrade helpers into src/helpers/binary-upgrade.ts to stay within the max-lines lint rule.

When archgate is installed as a direct binary (~/.archgate/bin/), running `archgate clean` would delete the running binary along with the cache. Now detects binary installs and removes everything except bin/ to avoid self-destruction.
Builds a binary with a fake old version (0.0.1), places it in ~/.archgate/bin/, runs `archgate upgrade`, and verifies the binary was replaced with the latest release from GitHub.
The background update check is redundant and confusing when the user is already running `archgate upgrade`.
Convert the Windows-only smoke test workflow into a matrix job that runs on both Windows and Linux. Validates binary build and self-upgrade on both platforms.
