docs: recommend PDIndexer-setup.msi and document Windows on Arm (Phase C-6)
Update the install docs for the WiX/arm64 era:
- recommend PDIndexer-setup.msi (the WiX main asset) instead of the legacy
PDIndexerSetup.msi name (the legacy same-byte copy is still published for
older clients' auto-update, so existing links keep working).
- add the Windows on Arm option: PDIndexer-setup_arm64.msi and the
PDIndexer-v.<ver>_arm64.zip portable, and note the Arm64 build of the
.NET 10 Desktop Runtime is required there.
- fix the stale portable ZIP name in README, en, and ja.

The download page offers two products: the ".NET Runtime" and the ".NET Desktop Runtime". Because PDIndexer is a WinForms application, be sure to install the **.NET Desktop Runtime**. The plain ".NET Runtime" alone will not launch the program.
