Add manual install steps alongside curl, harden install script

Site and README now show both curl one-liner and manual steps.
Explicit note that bun is required (node/npm won't work).
Install script improvements: version check, node detection warning,
curl check, Windows detection, .git dir validation, shallow clone,
fallback on bun install --silent, post-install missing dep summary.

> **note:** droidclaw requires [bun](https://bun.sh), not node/npm. it uses bun-specific apis (`Bun.spawnSync`, native `.env` loading) that don't exist in node.
edit `.env` - fastest way to start is with ollama (fully local, no api key):
```bash
