Brings bin/install in line with the repository scripts page of KiteUtils.jl. The structure follows KiteUtils' bin/install, which already meets the page.

Requirements

Requirement	Before	Now
No dialog without parameters	asked whether to delete the caches and which Julia version to use	met: asks nothing
Terminate if no supported Julia version	met (hard-coded 1.12/1.13)	met: the supported versions are read from Manifest-v*.toml.default
Back up manifests that are no longer needed	not met: deleted them	met: a plain Manifest.toml, a locally changed Manifest-v<version>.toml and manifests in examples/, test/ are moved to *.bak
Copy the default manifest	met	met
Copy *.default config files if the local file is missing	not met	met for every tracked *.default file (.JETLSConfig.toml, data/gui.yaml, examples/LocalPreferences.toml)
Resolve	met	met
Instantiate and precompile main and examples	met	met, with strict=true
Do not precompile test and docs by default	met	met
Fail with an error code if a step fails	not met: failed resolves were only listed in a report, and a "clean retry" silently dropped the default manifest	met: set -eu, no retry
Nothing outside the repo changed except the depot	not met: juliaup add/default, Revise in the global environment, alias jl in .bashrc	met: these moved to -i
-i: juliaup and disk-space check	done unconditionally	met, only with -i
-i: install or select Julia	partly (always switched the juliaup default)	met: juliaup add, juliaup override set for this repository
-i: alias jl, Revise, precompile test, run tests	alias and Revise always, no test options	met
-i: precompile docs	–	documented deviation: there is no docs environment
TerminalMenus with fallback	not met	met
-h, --help, -y	met	met

Documented deviations (in the help text)

• The V3Kite cache files are deleted from the scratchspace in the Julia depot (bin/delete_cache_files --yes). With -i this is a question, default yes.
• A stale bin/kps-image-<version>.so is deleted.
• The beam kite's surface-resolved aero geometry (not in git) is generated again.
• --update stays, because bin/create_sys_image --update uses it: the default manifest is not used and the main project is updated.
• +<version> and --version <version> choose the Julia version for this run. bin/create_sys_image already passed +<version>, which the old script rejected.

Also changed

• examples/LocalPreferences.toml.default sets precompile_workload = true (was false). bin/install now creates examples/LocalPreferences.toml from it, so the examples keep V3Kite's precompile workload.
• CHANGELOG entries under Unreleased.
• The final using … load checks are gone; the strict precompile catches the same failures.

Verification

• bash -n bin/install; shellcheck is not installed
• bin/install -h and bin/install --help print the help and exit 0; an unknown option exits 1
• bin/install -y on Julia 1.13 finished successfully. Afterwards only the three files of this PR differed from main among tracked files; the new untracked files are the copied default files, the manifest, a Manifest-v1.13.toml.bak and install_version_1.13.txt, all gitignored. After the run, the help text and a comment were corrected (examples and test are workspace members), and the rename of a plain Manifest.toml now targets the root folder; that rename only runs with --update.
• -i was not run, because it needs an interactive terminal.
