Node.js 25 no longer ships Corepack, so split the install section by whether Corepack is bundled and make the npm install steps visible. Switch the update command from `corepack@latest` to a bare `corepack`, which lets npm pick the newest release compatible with the running Node.js version instead of forcing one whose `engines` may not match. Also fix the `corepack disable` description, which locates Corepack rather than Node.js.

It was written when Corepack shipped with every Node.js release and doesn't fit the section for versions where npm is the only option. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 812ed6c7-9adb-4a4b-822e-a1f511614be2

Fixes #783
Node.js 25 stopped shipping Corepack (nodejs/node#57617), but the README still treated the bundled copy as the default and the npm install as a fallback hidden in a collapsed section.
corepack enable, still preferred on supported releases per the discussion in README.md needs fixing now that corepack is not bundled with nodejs #783) and Node.js versions without bundled Corepack (install from npm).<details>block, and noted thatcorepack enableisn't needed afterwards since the npm package already installs the yarn/pnpm shims.npm install -g corepack@latesttonpm install -g corepack. A bare name lets npm pick the newest version whoseenginesmatch the running Node.js (e.g. 0.34.7 on Node 25, since 0.35.0+ requires^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0), while@latestinstalls 0.36.0 regardless and only warns. The bare form still upgrades an existing global install.corepack disabledescription: it locates Corepack on the PATH, not Node.js.
