Add a one-command install, so the quarantine step is not the visitor's job - #48

…s job Perch is signed but not notarized, and will stay that way for now, so macOS quarantines every download and blocks the first launch. The instructions therefore ended with asking a stranger to paste an xattr command, which is where most people stop. The script does what those instructions described: reads the latest release, downloads the image, checks it against the published checksum and refuses to continue without one, installs it, clears the quarantine flag, and starts it. No sudo, and it falls back to ~/Applications if /Applications is not writable. Everything happens in a temp directory the trap cleans up, including the mount. Piping into a shell is a real thing to be wary of, so the page and the README both show how to read it first rather than pretending otherwise. Run against the live 1.8.5 release before committing: installs, signature still valid, quarantine cleared, app running, no mount left behind.
