feat: add Linux musl managed install targets#179
Merged
Conversation
Add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl and x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target triples for managed install. Auto-detects musl by checking for the /lib/ld-musl-<arch>.so.1 dynamic linker. Falls back to glibc (gnu) targets when musl is not detected. This enables managed install on Alpine-based dev containers and Remote SSH sessions to musl-based Linux hosts.

Summary
Add musl-libc support to the managed installer, covering the two new Linux musl targets added in Patchloom v0.7.0. This completes platform parity between the CLI release assets and the VS Code extension.
Changes
Auto-detection
detectManagedInstallTarget()now accepts an optionalisMuslparameter. When not provided on Linux, it auto-detects musl by checking for/lib/ld-musl-<arch>.so.1(the musl dynamic linker). Falls back to glibc (gnu) targets when musl is not detected.New targets
aarch64-unknown-linux-muslx86_64-unknown-linux-muslPlatform parity
All 8 Patchloom release targets are now supported:

5 new tests covering musl target selection, glibc fallback, non-Linux platform behavior, and unsupported architectures. 266/266 tests pass.
