Compiler and docs on every system: macOS Intel in CI, releases made by CI, docs for vectors and --cpu

- CI: macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel (macos-15, macos-15-intel); a tag v* attaches every package
  (Linux x64/ARM64, macOS ARM64/x64, Windows x64, the VS Code extension) to its release
- vectors: fma is llvm.fmuladd (llvm.fma was a libm call per lane without FMA hardware: 3.5x slower)
- examples/simd.fch: a dot product eight at a time, timed against the plain loop
- README and the English guides: installing on Linux, macOS and Windows; vectors (SIMD); --cpu;
  -g is DWARF on Windows too (lldb from llvm-mingw); no more mention of the C++ compiler
- comments left from the C++ compiler (src/target.cpp, src/codegen.cpp, "never frees") brought up to date

# The compiler is written in Finch. It is built from bootstrap/<system>.ll, its own LLVM IR (see bootstrap/README.md),
# then from itself. Seeds: Linux x86-64 and ARM64 (tested here), Windows x86-64 (tested under Wine, and here),
# macOS ARM64 and x86-64 (made with Apple's headers; only checked as IR until the macos job below passes).
# then from itself, and tested, on every system it runs on: Linux x86-64 and ARM64, macOS ARM64 and x86-64, Windows x86-64.
# A tag v* also makes the release: every package below is attached to it.
