Ship Go binaries inside per-platform npm packages (@alibaba-group/ocr-{os}-{arch})
so npm install resolves the correct binary via optionalDependencies + os/cpu fields.
This removes the need for a postinstall download from GitHub Releases, which is
extremely slow for users behind restricted networks (e.g. China mainland).
The postinstall download is retained as a fallback for --no-optional installs.
Previously, checksum failures in install.js were silently downgraded to
warnings, allowing unverified binaries to be installed. Similarly,
update.js accepted HTTP registries and skipped verification when no
matching platform entry was found.
Now both scripts treat checksum verification as mandatory when configured:
all failure paths (download error, compute error, mismatch, missing
platform entry) abort the operation and clean up downloaded files.
update.js also drops the http module and silently skips version checks
for non-HTTPS registries.
Unify BUILD_PLATFORM macro with optional suffix parameter to eliminate
duplication, centralize IS_WINDOWS/BINARY_NAME exports in install.js,
add Windows-safe rename-then-replace strategy in update.js, and add
PATH guidance in README for Windows users.
* feat(build): add Windows platform support
Add windows/amd64 and windows/arm64 to CI build matrix, Makefile
cross-platform targets, and handle .exe suffix in install/update
scripts and binary wrapper. Skip chmod on Windows where unsupported.

* docs(README): add Windows download instructions
Add Windows x86_64 and ARM64 binary download commands to both
English and Chinese README install sections.
