refactor(installer): drop self-update, publish stable-named ClaudeDo.Installer.exe

Release workflow now names the installer asset ClaudeDo.Installer.exe (no version) for a permanent download URL; it is still uploaded and checksummed on every release. App + worker keep the git tag version.

Removes the self-update preflight from App.OnStartup and deletes the now-dead SelfUpdater / SelfUpdatePromptWindow / SelfUpdateResult plus their tests. App-update detection is unaffected: the manifest records the release tag via DownloadAndExtractStep.

Updates the installer CLAUDE.md.

## Startup Sequence (`App.OnStartup`)
1. Load locale
2. Self-update preflight — `SelfUpdater.DecideUpdateAsync` checks Gitea API; if a newer installer exists, download + checksum verify + relaunch with `--replace-self <old-path>`
3. Detect mode — `InstallModeDetector` reads `install.json` + Gitea API
4. Open `WizardWindow` (FreshInstall / Update) or `SettingsWindow` (Config)

The installer does **not** self-update. Each release ships a stable-named
`ClaudeDo.Installer.exe` asset (permanent URL
`…/releases/latest/download/ClaudeDo.Installer.exe`); the installer never checks for or
replaces itself on launch. The in-app "Update" button relaunches the on-disk installer to
run the app update — the installer binary itself only changes when the user downloads a
fresh copy. App-update detection is unaffected: `WriteInstallManifestStep` records
`ctx.InstalledVersion` (the release tag from `DownloadAndExtractStep`), which
`InstallModeDetector` compares against the latest tag.
