Download the release archive for the current OS/arch, verify it against checksums.txt, and atomically replace the running binary. Includes --check to only report availability and points the update notice at the command. Also make the version ldflags override effective (the computed initializer made -X a no-op) and ignore +build metadata when comparing versions.

Summary
github-pokemon self-updatecommand (and--check): fetches the latest release, downloads the archive for the current OS/arch, verifies its sha256 against the releasechecksums.txt(refuses to install if missing or mismatched), extracts the binary, and replaces the running executable via a temp file + rename in the same directory. On Windows the old binary is renamed aside first. Permission errors suggest re-running with privileges.github-pokemon self-update.versionhad a computed initializer, so GoReleaser's-X ...cmd.versionwas silently ignored. It's now a plain string resolved at startup (ldflags first, then build info, then0.0.0-dev).+buildmetadata (e.g.1.5.0+dirty) is ignored when comparing versions.Test plan
