release: zddc-server v0.0.8-alpha.2 + binary publish step

Adds binary mirroring to release-image.sh: cross-compiled binaries from
zddc/dist/ are now copied to website/releases/zddc-server-<os>-<arch>-<channel>
for every channel in the cascade, so https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/
serves binaries alongside the HTML tools. Channel pointers are mutable;
no immutable per-version files are written (the container registry
provides per-version pinning via image tags).

Plain `sh build.sh` does NOT mirror binaries — only `release-image.sh`
does, deliberately, to avoid 40MB git churn per dev iteration.

This commit also picks up the routine alpha-mirror refresh from the
v0.0.8-alpha.2 image cut.

+**Binary publishing** — `release-image.sh` also mirrors the

+`website/releases/zddc-server-<os>-<arch>-<channel>` for every channel
+in the cascade. These are mutable channel pointers (no immutable

+NOT mirror the binaries; only `release-image.sh` does, deliberately,
+so the website's binaries always match a published image.

+The mirrored files at `https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/zddc-server-…`
+are what the dev shell's `zddc-use` helper fetches by default.
