install.sh --drivers: bootstrap the open-licence ODBC drivers - #156

Conversation
sqliteodbc, psqlodbc and MariaDB Connector/ODBC through apt, dnf or Homebrew (their runtime libraries have to be on the loader path, which only the package manager arranges, and the package registers the driver name); clickhouse-odbc from the project's pinned release tarball with its SHA-256 checked, unpacked under $PREFIX/odbc-drivers. --drivers=<list> narrows it, --drivers-only skips the build. The run ends with a table of path, registered name and a load check per driver, plus a connection string each. Docs: install guides, README, roadmap row done (0.1.4; Windows counterpart next), FAQ. Verified in fresh Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 42 containers as a non-root user with sudo: all four install; SQLite, PostgreSQL 16 (psqlodbc) and ClickHouse 26.7 queries run through the bridge with the drivers it installed.

Roadmap item: a first run needs an ODBC driver per database, and the open-licence ones are packaged everywhere, so
install.shcan fetch them../install.sh --driversinstalls, after the bridge:libsqliteodbc/sqliteodbcsqliteodbcodbc-postgresql/postgresql-odbcpsqlodbcodbc-mariadb/mariadb-connector-odbcmariadb-connector-odbcv1.5.5.20260810) and SHA-256 checked, unpacked under$PREFIX/odbc-driversThe first three go through the package manager on purpose: a no-root
.debextraction was tried first and leaves psqlodbc and MariaDB unable to load (libpq.so.5,libmariadb.so.3missing even on a developer machine), while the package pulls those in and registers the driver name inodbcinst.ini.

Also drops a README line that still said the Windows build lacks prefetch and parallel ingest (#155).
