docs(readme): replace process substitution with pipe syntax in install commands

Browse Source 
- swap `sudo bash <(curl …)` for `curl … | sudo bash -s -- setup` to fix `/dev/fd/63` errors under sudo
- add callout explaining why process substitution fails with `sudo bash`
- update one-shot command to `curl … | bash` and clarify auto-elevation behavior
- fix version-reporting note to reflect pipe mode instead of process substitution

> Avoid `sudo bash <(curl …)` — process substitution opens `/dev/fd/63` in your shell, which the root `bash` spawned by `sudo` cannot read (`bash: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory`). Pipe through `sudo bash -s --` instead.

### Releasing a new version
Bump only the [VERSION](VERSION) file — `lxs.sh` reads it at startup. Installed clients also fetch this file (cached 24 h in `~/.cache/lxs/`) to detect updates. In one-shot mode (`bash <(curl …lxs.sh)`) the file isn't readable from the process substitution, so `lxs version` reports `dev`.
