Summary

Closes #1736.

  • Adds support for using the install.sh script when on Git Bash.
  • Scans for Windows as OS
    • Adds .exe to the binary name
    • Uses .zip instead of .tar.gz
      • Uses unzip command instead of tar command
  • Updates README.md (all languages) and INSTALL.md
  • Builds out tests for install script using existing test-install.sh file
    • Doesn't add to CI pipeline, wasn't there before

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --all && cargo clippy --all-targets && cargo test
  • Manual testing: rtk <command> output inspected
  • Updated test-install.sh and ran manually

Important: All PRs must target the develop branch (not master).
See CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
