Add an install script for the prebuilt joltc binary

Browse source 
install (root) downloads the self-contained joltc release asset for the host
platform, verifies its sha256, and drops the binary in /usr/local/bin (--dir /
--version override). Resolves the latest release via the GitHub API, clears the
macOS quarantine flag, and backs up an existing joltc. Modeled on babashka's
installer. README gets a one-line curl|bash install.

(`jolt-core/`) and compiles itself. It ships a Clojure-compatible standard library.
## Install
Grab the self-contained `joltc` binary (Linux/macOS) — it bundles the runtime,
compiler, and standard library, so there is nothing else to install:
```bash
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jolt-lang/jolt/main/install | bash
```
It installs to `/usr/local/bin` by default; `--dir <dir>` and `--version <v>`
override that. Then `joltc -e '(+ 1 2)'`. To run from source instead (needs Chez),
see [Build](#build).
## Requirements
Only [Chez Scheme](https://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/) (the gate invokes it as
