fix(docs): point all install curl URLs to main/install.sh (#314)

The install.sh on main now dynamically resolves the latest release tag via GitHub API (merged in PR #313), so pinning to a specific release tag in install commands is no longer needed — and was causing users to run the old hardcoded installer. Update all curl install command URLs across docs, code, and website from versioned tags (v0.9.0-beta, v0.8.0-beta) to main/install.sh: - README.md (4 URLs + note text) - docs/INSTALL.md (2 URLs + note text) - docs/UPDATE.md (2 URLs) - docs/DISTRO_COMPATIBILITY.md (1 URL) - tests/distro-testing-checklist.md (1 URL) - src/vocalinux/main.py (1 URL) - web/src/app/page.tsx (remove dynamic release fetch, hardcode main)
