Prophet731 bb12cae954 feat: add install.sh helper for ownership-preserving install/upgrade ...

Single-file POSIX bash script with three subcommands:

  install   First-time install. Refuses to overwrite an existing one.
  upgrade   Refresh existing install. Refuses if nothing's installed yet.
  check     Report installed version vs latest. No changes. Exit 0/1/2
            for current/outdated/not-installed (handy for cron-driven
            update monitoring).

Solves the long-standing "module installed but invisible in WHMCS" trap:
when admins ran the documented `git clone | rsync` recipe as root, the
new files landed as root:root and the WHMCS web user couldn't read
them. The script reads the parent dir's owner via `stat -c '%U:%G'` and
applies it via rsync `--chown`, so a `sudo bash` install ends up with
correct ownership automatically.

Other niceties:

  - --version v1.4.1   pin a specific tag (default: latest published)
  - --with-addon       also sync modules/addons/VirtFusionDns
  - Backs up + restores config/ConfigOptionMapping.php across the
    rsync --delete (the old docs warned about this; the script just
    handles it).
  - Writes .installed-version marker so `check` can report current state.
  - Pipeable via curl OR wget — both forms documented in the script
    header for ad-hoc piped invocations.
