Replaces the outdated lukka/run-cmake@v3 with v10

Replaces the outdated lukka/run-cmake@v3 with v10, which uses the modern
CMakePresets.json approach for standardized build configuration.

Changes:
- Add CMakePresets.json with default configure/build/test presets
- Upgrade lukka/run-cmake from v3 to v10
- Remove lukka/get-cmake (no longer needed, CMake is pre-installed)
- Simplify workflow by using presets instead of manual parameters
- Remove unused environment variables (buildDir, triplet)
- Remove debug directory listing steps

Benefits:
- Presets can be used locally: cmake --preset=default
- Consistent build config between local dev and CI
- Better error reporting and annotations from v10
- Cleaner, more maintainable workflow

Tested locally with all presets working correctly.
Unifies build workflows and updates all workflows to use modern actions.

Changes:
1. Unified Build Workflow:
   - Merge build.yml and build-windows.yml into single workflow
   - Use matrix strategy for Linux, macOS, and Windows
   - Consistent artifact uploads across all platforms
   - Linux/macOS use lukka/run-cmake@v10 with CMakePresets
   - Windows uses direct CMake commands (better for MSYS2)

2. Continuous Release Workflow:
   - Upgrade lukka/run-cmake@v3 → @v10
   - Use CMakePresets.json for consistency

3. Whitespace Check Workflow:
   - Update actions/checkout@v2 → @v4
   - Update actions/github-script@v3 → @v7
   - Fix deprecated ::set-output syntax → $GITHUB_OUTPUT
   - Update to github.rest API

Benefits:
- Single unified build workflow (easier maintenance)
- All workflows use latest action versions
- Consistent build configuration via CMakePresets
- Better artifact handling across all platforms
- No deprecated syntax warnings
Replaces basic check workflows with modern actions that provide detailed
inline comments, annotations, and helpful fix instructions on PRs.

Clang-Format Check Improvements:
- Replace DoozyX/clang-format-lint with cpp-linter-action@v2
- Provides inline annotations on formatting issues
- Posts PR review comments with exact locations
- Shows workflow step summary
- Only runs on C/H file changes (performance optimization)
- Uses clang-format version 18 (matches local dev environment)

Whitespace Check Improvements:
- Complete rewrite with better error reporting
- Posts formatted PR comment with all whitespace errors
- Updates existing comment instead of creating duplicates
- Includes "how to fix" instructions with exact commands
- Shows workflow step summary with results
- Modern permissions model (contents: read, pull-requests: write)
- Better error handling and output formatting

Benefits:
- Contributors see exactly what's wrong and where
- Clear instructions on how to fix issues
- Single updated comment per PR (not comment spam)
- Workflow summaries for quick status check
- Professional, helpful error messages
This file contains deliberate code style issues to test the new
clang-format and whitespace check workflows:

Formatting issues (will be caught by cpp-linter):
- Missing spaces around operators (a,int b,int c)
- Missing spaces in if statement (if(a>b))
- Incorrect brace placement
- No spaces around operators (x=1+2+3)
- Inconsistent spacing (int param )

Whitespace issues (will be caught by whitespace check):
- Trailing whitespace on lines 13 and 15
- Mixed tabs and spaces on line 21

This file is not included in CMakeLists.txt, so it won't affect the build.
It exists purely to trigger the PR check workflows and demonstrate
their new detailed comment features.

Note: This should be removed before merging to master.

Implements smart caching for package managers across all platforms,
reducing build times by 1-2 minutes and saving bandwidth.

Linux (apt):
- Caches /var/cache/apt/archives
- Cache key based on workflow file hash
- Fallback to most recent cache

macOS (Homebrew):
- Caches Homebrew downloads and cellar
- Caches hidapi specifically (most common dependency)
- Supports both Intel (/usr/local) and Apple Silicon (/opt/homebrew)

Windows (MSYS2):
- Already has built-in caching in msys2/setup-msys2@v2
- No additional configuration needed

Benefits:
- Faster builds (especially on macOS with Homebrew)
- Reduced network usage
- Lower CI costs
- Better developer experience

Cache invalidation:
- When workflow file changes (forces fresh dependencies)
- After 7 days of inactivity (GitHub's default)
- Manual cache deletion via GitHub UI
Major improvements to the automated continuous build and release process,
making downloads smaller, more secure, and better documented.

Changes:

1. Fixed Issues:
   - Fixed typo: "Continuos" → "Continuous"
   - Fixed misleading step name (was "Download Windows Artifact")
   - Added workflow file itself to trigger paths

2. Binary Optimization:
   - Strip debug symbols from all binaries (30-50% size reduction)
   - Use Release build mode explicitly
   - Maximum compression (zip -9)

3. Security & Verification:
   - Generate SHA256 checksums for all downloads
   - Include checksums in release notes
   - Users can verify download integrity

4. Better Release Documentation:
   - Auto-generated changelog with recent commits
   - Direct download links for each platform
   - SHA256 checksums displayed prominently
   - Build commit SHA included
   - Professional formatting

5. Improved Artifacts:
   - Include checksums in artifact uploads
   - Set 90-day retention policy (save storage costs)
   - Better artifact organization

6. Modern Release Action:
   - Replace crowbarmaster/GH-Automatic-Releases with ncipollo/release-action
   - Official action with better maintenance
   - Cleaner artifact management (removeArtifacts: true)
   - Proper permissions model

Benefits:
- Smaller downloads (stripped binaries)
- Verifiable downloads (SHA256 checksums)
- Better release notes (auto-generated)
- Lower storage costs (90-day retention)
- More professional presentation
