chore: bump version to 0.10.1

* fix: use FHS-compliant /var/lib/numa as Linux data dir default

numa's default system-wide data directory was hardcoded to
/usr/local/var/numa for all Unix platforms. This is the right path on
macOS (Homebrew prefix convention) but non-FHS on Linux, where Arch /
Fedora / Debian / etc. expect persistent state under /var/lib/<pkg>.
The mismatch was invisible to existing users (numa creates the dir
silently on first run) but immediately surfaces when packaging for a
distro — see PR #33 (community contribution to add an Arch AUR package)
which had to add fragile sed-based path patching at PKGBUILD build time.

The fix moves the path decision into a small helper:

  - daemon_data_dir()        — cfg-gated platform dispatch (linux/macos)
  - resolve_linux_data_dir() — pure function, takes "does X exist?"
                               as parameters, returns the right path

Linux behavior:
  - Fresh install                       → /var/lib/numa (FHS)
  - Upgrading from pre-v0.10.1 install  → /usr/local/var/numa (legacy)
  - Both paths exist                    → /var/lib/numa (FHS wins)

The legacy fallback is critical: existing v0.10.0 Linux users have
their CA cert + services.json under /usr/local/var/numa. Returning
the new path unconditionally would cause CA regeneration on upgrade,
breaking every browser that had trusted the previous CA. The fallback
is checked at startup via std::path::Path::exists, so the upgrade is
seamless and zero-config.

macOS behavior is unchanged — /usr/local/var/numa is still correct
because Homebrew's prefix is /usr/local.

Test coverage:

  - resolve_linux_data_dir is a pure function gated cfg(any(linux,test))
    so the same code path is unit-tested on every platform's CI run.
  - Four tests cover all combinations of (legacy_exists, fhs_exists),
    asserting the migration logic stays correct under future edits.

The default config in numa.toml is also updated to document the new
per-platform default paths.

* test: end-to-end FHS path verification + simplify cleanup

Two related changes from a /simplify pass and a follow-up testing
finalization:

1. lib.rs cleanup (no behavior change):
   - Drop FHS_LINUX_DATA_DIR and LEGACY_LINUX_DATA_DIR consts. Both
     were used in only 4 places total and the unit tests already
     bypassed them with string literals, so they were over-engineering.
     Inline the strings in daemon_data_dir() and resolve_linux_data_dir().
   - Trim narrating doc/comments on the helper and the test bodies.
     Keep only the non-obvious WHY (the macOS Homebrew note and the
     migration-keeps-legacy rationale).

2. tests/docker/smoke-arch.sh:
   - Cherry-picked the previously-uncommitted Arch compatibility smoke
     test from feat/smoke-arch.
   - Removed the [server] data_dir = "/tmp/numa-smoke" override from
     the test config so the script now exercises the DEFAULT data dir
     code path — which is exactly what the FHS fix touches.
   - Added a path assertion after the dig succeeds: verify that
     /var/lib/numa/ca.pem exists (FHS) and /usr/local/var/numa is
     absent (no accidental dual-creation on a fresh install).

Verified end-to-end on archlinux:latest (Apple Silicon, Rosetta):

  ── building + running numa on archlinux:latest ──
  ── cargo build --release --locked ──
      Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 24.02s
  ── dig @127.0.0.1 -p 5354 google.com A ──
    142.251.38.206
  ── FHS path check ──
    ✓ CA cert at /var/lib/numa/ca.pem (FHS path)
    ✓ legacy path /usr/local/var/numa absent (fresh install used FHS)
  ── smoke-arch passed ──

This closes the testing gap where the unit tests covered the
path-decision LOGIC in isolation but nothing exercised the live
wiring on a real Linux filesystem.

+- **Self-signed** (default) — numa generates a local CA automatically. `numa install` adds it to the system trust store on macOS, Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL/SUSE, Arch), and Windows. On iOS, install the `.mobileconfig` from `numa setup-phone`. Firefox keeps its own NSS store and ignores the system one — trust the CA there manually if you need HTTPS for `.numa` services in Firefox.
 - **Bring-your-own cert** — point `[dot] cert_path` / `key_path` at a publicly-trusted cert (e.g., Let's Encrypt via DNS-01 challenge on a domain pointing at your numa instance). Clients connect without any trust-store setup — same UX as AdGuard Home or Cloudflare `1.1.1.1`.
