Subject: [PATCH] fix: install altimate-code from npm instead of GitHub Release
 binaries

The previous approach downloaded standalone binaries from GitHub Releases,
which don't include NAPI native dependencies like `@altimateai/altimate-core`.
This caused v0.5.10 to silently fail (graceful degradation to regex-only mode).

Switch to `npm install -g altimate-code` which is the officially supported
install method. npm correctly resolves all dependencies including the
platform-specific NAPI binaries via the wrapper package.

Benefits:
- Matches the documented install method in the README
- Automatically gets `@altimateai/altimate-core` and platform binaries
- No more architecture/OS detection shell logic
- No more GitHub API calls for version resolution
- Simpler action.yml (removed ~40 lines of download/extract/cache logic)

Trade-off: npm install takes ~10s vs cached binary lookup (~0s on cache hit).
The cache step was removed since npm has its own caching and the install is
fast enough for CI.
