Add standalone host-agent binaries to releases

Browse source 
Issue: HOST_AGENT.md documented downloading pulse-host-agent binaries
from GitHub releases, but those assets didn't exist. Only tarballs were
available, making manual installation unnecessarily complex.

Changes:
- Copy standalone host-agent binaries (all architectures) to release/
  directory alongside sensor-proxy binaries
- Include host-agent binaries in checksum generation
- Update HOST_AGENT.md to clarify available architectures
- Retroactively uploaded missing binaries to v4.26.1

This enables air-gapped and manual installations without requiring an
already-running Pulse server to download from.
