docs(readme): describe the actual three-way network-access prompt

Browse Source 
The installer bullet still described a two-way choice with 0.0.0.0 as "the
default", which predates the Tailscale option. The prompt has offered three
choices for a while (Tailscale / any device on your network / this machine
only), and the default is computed from what is already on the machine rather
than being fixed at 0.0.0.0.

Now states all three options, that the Tailscale one is a loopback bind
fronted by `tailscale serve` with the tailnet as the login, and how the
highlighted default is chosen. Line 220 already documented the Tailscale
option correctly; this was the only stale spot.

This installs Node.js, tmux and a build toolchain if missing (node-pty ships no Linux prebuilds, so it compiles from source), clones Codeman to `~/.codeman/app`, and builds it. A few things worth knowing:
- **It asks first.** Every system change (package installs, AI CLI download) is prompted, and a menu at the end lets you choose: run Codeman in this terminal, install it as a background service (systemd/launchd, auto-start on boot), or don't start yet. Nothing runs in the background unless you pick it.
- **Network or local-only, your choice.** The installer asks whether the dashboard should be reachable from other devices on your network (`0.0.0.0`, the default, with a strongly recommended password prompt) or from this machine only (`127.0.0.1`, safest). Skipping the password on a network bind requires an explicit confirmation and ends with a loud warning. A bare `codeman web` started by hand still defaults to loopback.
- **How it's reachable, your choice.** The installer offers three ways to reach the dashboard: **Tailscale** (loopback bind fronted by `tailscale serve`, so you get `https://<machine>.<tailnet>.ts.net` with a real certificate and your tailnet as the login, no password needed), **any device on your network** (`0.0.0.0`, with a strongly recommended password prompt), or **this machine only** (`127.0.0.1`, safest). Skipping the password on a network bind requires an explicit confirmation and ends with a loud warning. The highlighted default reflects what is already on the machine (Tailscale when it is already in use, your existing binding on a re-run), and a bare Enter never pulls in new software. A bare `codeman web` started by hand still defaults to loopback.
- **Re-run to update.** The same one-liner updates a finished install in place: local changes in `~/.codeman/app` are stashed (never discarded), and a running service is restarted and verified. If a first install was interrupted, re-running resumes the full setup instead. `install.sh update` and `install.sh uninstall` also exist.
- **CI / headless:** without a terminal attached, steps that would change your system abort with instructions instead of running silently. Set `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` to approve them for automation.
