docs(packaging): write INSTALL-GITHUB.md (wget + dpkg -i / rpm -i / apk add --allow-untrusted) #505

Description

@satwareAG-ironMike

Context

Documentation for users who want to download packages directly from GitHub Releases (without adding our APT/YUM/APK repo). This is the simplest install path: one wget, one dpkg -i / rpm -i / apk add.

Acceptance Criteria

  • docs/packaging/INSTALL-GITHUB.md exists
  • Covers: finding the right asset on the GitHub Releases page
  • Shows Debian/Ubuntu: wget <url> && sudo dpkg -i *.deb
  • Shows RHEL/Fedora: wget <url> && sudo rpm -i *.rpm
  • Shows Alpine: wget <url> && sudo apk add --allow-untrusted *.apk
  • Notes the limitation: no apt upgrade / dnf upgrade (manual update only)
  • Links to INSTALL-DEBIAN.md for the repo-based approach (recommended)

Dependencies

Suggested Test Plan

  1. Follow the docs: download from GitHub Releases, install manually
  2. Verify extension loads on each distro family
