the update command broke in v2.0.0 when goreleaser switched to archive-only
releases (tar.gz/zip) and darwin universal binaries. the old code expected raw
binary assets named runpodctl-{os}-{arch} which no longer existed.
- goreleaser: add legacy build+archive to publish raw per-arch binaries for
backward compat with old runpodctl versions
- update: match against archived asset names (tar.gz/zip) and extract binary
- update: map darwin to universal binary asset (darwin-all)
- update: use temp files for download and extraction
- update: add "already up to date" message

Summary
legacybuild in goreleaser that publishes raw per-arch binaries (runpodctl-darwin-arm64,runpodctl-linux-amd64, etc.) so old runpodctl versions can still self-update.tar.gz/.zip) and extracts the binary, and maps darwin to the universal binary (darwin-all)Context
since v2.0.0, goreleaser only produces archives (
runpodctl-darwin-all.tar.gz) and no longer publishes raw binaries. the old update command expected exact matches onrunpodctl-{os}-{arch}which no longer existed, causingplatform darwin-arm64 not supported in latest versionfor all users trying to self-update.Test plan
