feat(release): add real per-platform download links to release notes

Release notes previously pointed at the flat, alphabetical Assets
list, forcing readers to hunt for their platform's soundtouch-service
or soundtouch-cli build. Generate direct per-platform links (with
inline checksum links, one row per OS/arch) from the deterministic
asset naming convention, and wire it into both release paths: the
auto-generated notes (create_release) and the hand-authored notes a
maintainer publishes via the GitHub web UI (update_release, which now
replaces the Downloads footer line in place). The footer-replace logic
always goes through the same strip-then-append path so re-running the
job for the same tag stays byte-for-byte idempotent.

**Bose SoundTouch Toolkit.** Keep your Bose SoundTouch speakers alive after the Bose cloud shutdown. No Bose infrastructure required.
$QUICK_DOWNLOADS
## What's included
Pre-built binaries for Linux (amd64, arm64, armv7), macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon), Windows (amd64), and FreeBSD (amd64):
- **soundtouch-service**: local server that replaces the Bose cloud. Point your speaker at it and you keep full control; the built-in web UI on port 8000 handles setup.
- **soundtouch-service** (see above)
- **soundtouch-cli** (see above)
- **soundtouch-player**: standalone LAN web UI for device control: play/pause, volume, presets, live status. (Formerly \`soundtouch-web\`.)
- **soundtouch-cli**: command-line control of any device: playback, presets, sources, multiroom zones, discovery, and migration. Good for scripting and home automation.
- **soundtouch-backup**: back up your Bose cloud account and each speaker's local state. \`soundtouch-backup all\` captures everything in one step.
Not sure which file to grab? The [Downloads page](https://gesellix.github.io/Bose-SoundTouch/docs/downloads/) explains which tool you need and which \`<os>-<arch>\` build matches your computer.
