Subject: [PATCH] docs(readme): Add Installation section with ZIP download and
 WP-CLI command

Two clearly-labeled install methods at the top of the README so
users know how to get the plugin without scrolling:
  - WordPress Admin GUI: 3-step ZIP upload
  - WP-CLI one-liner with --activate flag

Both link directly to the v1.0.0 release ZIP on Gitea.
