Arkadiusz Fal 3905fd8b18 Add AltStore source and separate update workflow from release pipeline
- Create standalone update-altstore.yml workflow (workflow_dispatch + workflow_call)
  that gets version from latest GitHub release tag instead of project.pbxproj
- Replace inline update_altstore job in release.yml with workflow_call reference
- Add altstore-source.json with app metadata and initial version entry
- Update README with revised features, TestFlight install link, and new logo assets

- **Invidious-compatible API** — drop-in replacement, works alongside existing Invidious/Piped instances
- **Self-hosted & private** — run on your own hardware, no data leaves your network
- **Fast parallel streaming** — yt-dlp parallel downloading streams video while it downloads
- **Admin panel** — web UI for settings, credentials, and monitoring
- **Docker ready** — single container deployment
