Description

Closes #2492.

This adds short installation notes to the README and Getting Started page pointing users to the standalone executables published on GitHub releases. The wording focuses on Black users who want to run Black without installing Python, rather than explaining PyInstaller itself.

This follows the review feedback from #4545 that the binaries should be surfaced in the installation docs.

Docs-only change; I did not add a CHANGES.md entry because the changelog notes that small docs changes do not need one. Please add ci: skip news if appropriate.

Checklist - did you ...

  • Implement any code style changes under the --preview style, following the stability policy? (Not applicable.)
  • Add an entry in CHANGES.md if necessary? (Not necessary for this small docs change.)
  • Add / update tests if necessary? (Not necessary for docs-only wording.)
  • Add new / update outdated documentation?

Test Plan

  • git diff --check
