fix: unify install messaging to prioritize curl|bash across entire site
Landing page already led with curl, but docs, config detail pages,
explore cards, profile pages, and llms.txt all recommended brew install
or openboot install as the primary method. This created an inconsistent
experience — especially for new users on a fresh Mac who don't have
Homebrew yet.
Now curl -fsSL openboot.dev/... | bash is the primary install command
everywhere. brew install and openboot install are kept as secondary
options labeled "Already have Homebrew/OpenBoot?" where appropriate.
CLI reference and config-options docs are unchanged since they document
CLI behavior for users who already have openboot.
