70ef6e4211 docs: Document maxperf Docker image variants from #1017
Add documentation for the new performance-optimised Docker images with
"-maxperf" suffix. These use the release-max-perf build profile with LTO
and target haswell CPU architecture on amd64 for optimal performance.

Also restructure the static prebuilt binary section in generic deployment
docs for better clarity and fix various UK English spelling issues.

## Installing Continuwuity
### Static prebuilt binary
### Prebuilt binary
You may simply download the binary that fits your machine architecture (x86_64
or aarch64). Run `uname -m` to see what you need.
Download the binary for your architecture (x86_64 or aarch64) -
run the `uname -m` to check which you need.
You can download prebuilt fully static musl binaries from the latest tagged
release [here](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/releases/latest) or
from the `main` CI branch workflow artifact output. These also include Debian/Ubuntu
packages.
Prebuilt binaries are available from:
- **Tagged releases**: [Latest release page](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/releases/latest)
- **Development builds**: CI artifacts from the `main` branch
(includes Debian/Ubuntu packages)
You can download these directly using curl. The `ci-bins` are CI workflow binaries organized by commit
hash/revision, and `releases` are tagged releases. Sort by descending last
modified date to find the latest.
When browsing CI artifacts, `ci-bins` contains binaries organised
by commit hash, while `releases` contains tagged versions. Sort
by last modified date to find the most recent builds.
These binaries have jemalloc and io_uring statically linked and included with
them, so no additional dynamic dependencies need to be installed.
The binaries require jemalloc and io_uring on the host system. Currently
we can't cross-build static binaries - contributions are welcome here.
For the **best** performance: if you are using an `x86_64` CPU made in the last ~15 years,
we recommend using the `-haswell-` optimized binaries. These set
`-march=haswell`, which provides the most compatible and highest performance with
optimized binaries. The database backend, RocksDB, benefits most from this as it
uses hardware-accelerated CRC32 hashing/checksumming, which is critical
for performance.
#### Performance-optimised builds
For x86_64 systems with CPUs from the last ~15 years, use the
`-haswell-` optimised binaries for best performance. These
binaries enable hardware-accelerated CRC32 checksumming in
RocksDB, which significantly improves database performance.
The haswell instruction set provides an excellent balance of
compatibility and speed.
If you're using Docker instead, equivalent performance-optimised
images are available with the `-maxperf` suffix (e.g.
`forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity:latest-maxperf`).
These images use the `release-max-perf`
build profile with
[link-time optimisation (LTO)](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/profiles.html#lto)
and, for amd64, target the haswell CPU architecture.
