Summary

  • Documents the Linux DEB/RPM/Flatpak/AppImage packages we now publish per release (the docs previously claimed none existed)
  • Clarifies the arch-specific macOS (arm64/x86_64 .dmg) and Windows (x64/arm64 .exe) installer assets
  • Adds an "ArgyllCMS Requirement" section to all three platform docs explaining that ArgyllCMS ships separately and isn't bundled with any package/installer, and documents the built-in first-run download/browse/Homebrew prompt as well as the manual install path

Closes #954

Test plan

  • Verified release asset names against the actual 3.9.19 GitHub release
  • Verified the ArgyllCMS first-run download/browse/Homebrew prompt behavior against DisplayCAL/argyll.py::set_argyll_bin and DisplayCAL/display_cal.py
  • Verified the Locate ArgyllCMS executables... menu label against DisplayCAL/lang/en.yaml
  • Verified the argyll-cms Homebrew formula name via brew search
  • Docs-only change, no functional testing needed

The install docs still claimed no Linux packages existed and didn't
distinguish the arch-specific macOS/Windows installer assets, out of
date with what releases actually publish now.
None of the install docs mentioned ArgyllCMS at all, even though
DisplayCAL can't take measurements without it and it ships separately
from every package/installer. Documents the built-in first-run
download/browse/Homebrew prompt and the manual install path.
