v0.5.1: static musl builds for OpenWRT (amd64 + arm64)

A user on OpenWRT x86_64 reported the linux release doesn't run there —
root cause was glibc vs musl mismatch (our gnu binary was looking for a
dynamic linker that doesn't exist on router userlands). Add two musl
targets that produce fully static PIE binaries:

- x86_64-unknown-linux-musl  -> mhrv-rs-linux-musl-amd64.tar.gz
- aarch64-unknown-linux-musl -> mhrv-rs-linux-musl-arm64.tar.gz

CI uses the messense/rust-musl-cross docker images (better-maintained
than cargo-zigbuild with a pinned zig, which has version regressions
on the ar wrapper between 0.13 and 0.16).

Locally verified:
- both archs cross-compile green in docker
- resulting x86_64 binary (3.3 MB) runs in an alpine:latest container,
  --version / --help work, no dynamic lib requirements

The musl archive skips the UI (routers are headless) and swaps run.sh
for a procd init script (assets/openwrt/mhrv-rs.init) expecting the
binary at /usr/bin/mhrv-rs and config at /etc/mhrv-rs/config.json.

Side effect: switched tokio-rustls to default-features=false + ring
(was pulling aws-lc-rs transitively, which can't easily cross-compile
for musl). The main crate already uses ring explicitly, so no runtime
behavior change.

README gets a 'Running on OpenWRT (or any musl distro)' section in
both English and Persian with scp + procd enable/start recipe.
Closes #2.

 HTTP/HTTPS continues to route through the Apps Script relay (no change), and the SNI-rewrite tunnel for `google.com` / `youtube.com` / etc. keeps bypassing both — so YouTube stays as fast as before while Telegram gets a real tunnel.
 
+## Running on OpenWRT (or any musl distro)
+
+The `*-linux-musl-*` archives ship a fully static CLI that runs on OpenWRT, Alpine, and any libc-less Linux userland. Put the binary on the router and start it as a service:
+
+```sh
+# From a machine that can reach your router:
+scp mhrv-rs root@192.168.1.1:/usr/bin/mhrv-rs
+scp mhrv-rs.init root@192.168.1.1:/etc/init.d/mhrv-rs
+scp config.json root@192.168.1.1:/etc/mhrv-rs/config.json
+
+# On the router:
+chmod +x /usr/bin/mhrv-rs /etc/init.d/mhrv-rs
+/etc/init.d/mhrv-rs enable
+/etc/init.d/mhrv-rs start
+logread -e mhrv-rs -f   # tail its logs
+```
+
+LAN devices then point their HTTP proxy at the router's LAN IP (default port `8085`) or their SOCKS5 at `<router-ip>:8086`. Set `listen_host` to `0.0.0.0` in `/etc/mhrv-rs/config.json` so the router accepts LAN connections instead of localhost-only.
+
+Memory footprint is ~15-20 MB resident — fine on anything with ≥128 MB RAM. No UI is shipped for musl (routers are headless).

+### اجرا روی OpenWRT (یا هر سیستم musl)
+
+آرشیوهای `*-linux-musl-*` یک CLI کاملاً static می‌دهند که روی OpenWRT، Alpine و هر userland لینوکسی بدون glibc اجرا می‌شود. باینری را روی روتر بگذارید و به‌عنوان سرویس راه بیندازید:
+
+```sh
+# از یک ماشین که به روترتان می‌رسد:
+scp mhrv-rs root@192.168.1.1:/usr/bin/mhrv-rs

+/etc/init.d/mhrv-rs enable
+/etc/init.d/mhrv-rs start
+logread -e mhrv-rs -f
+```
+
+بعدش دستگاه‌های LAN، proxy HTTP خودشان را روی IP روتر پورت `8085` (یا SOCKS5 روی `8086`) بگذارند. در `/etc/mhrv-rs/config.json` مقدار `listen_host` را به `0.0.0.0` تغییر دهید تا روتر از LAN هم connection بپذیرد (نه فقط localhost).
+
+مصرف حافظه حدود ۱۵-۲۰ مگابایت است — روی هر روتری با حداقل ۱۲۸ مگابایت RAM اجرا می‌شود. UI برای musl ساخته نمی‌شود (روترها بدون صفحه‌نمایش هستند).

 ### محدودیت‌های شناخته‌شده
 
 این‌ها محدودیت‌های ذاتی روش Apps Script + SNI هستند، نه باگ در این کلاینت. نسخهٔ اصلی پایتون هم دقیقاً همین‌ها را دارد.
