Accept CRLF commit-message files.

When the message file uses CRLF, line 18 does not match the trailing \r, so the commit-msg hook rejects a valid sign-off. Allow an optional \r before $ and add a CRLF test.

In @.github/hooks/check-dco.sh at line 18, Update the sign-off pattern in
check-dco.sh to accept an optional carriage return before the line end,
preserving validation of the existing Signed-off-by format. Add a test covering
a CRLF-terminated commit message to confirm the commit-msg hook accepts valid

I think this content should go below with the section discussing DCO and signoff, users won't know what DCO is at this point in the document.

We should also mention somewhere about setting your git global variables to use in the signoff. With git config --global --edit users should set name and email like this:

[global]
[user]
        name = Eric Kerfoot
        email = 17726042+ericspod@users.noreply.github.com

The no-reply email address Github assigns to each user can be seen at https://github.com/settings/emails. As I use here, it's more private to use this address rather than an actual email, and it's associated directly with your Github username.

We should also mention that VSCode can be set to automatically sign off on every commit.

To catch formatting and DCO failures before they reach CI, install the git pre-commit hooks once per checkout:

```bash
# install the git hooks: black, isort, ruff, and the DCO sign-off check
pre-commit install

# or, via the test runner:
./runtests.sh --setup
```

These hooks run automatically on every `git commit`: `black`, `isort`, and `ruff` reformat the staged files, and the `commit-msg` hook blocks a commit that is missing a `Signed-off-by` line.

Before submitting a pull request, we recommend that all linting should pass, by running the following command locally:

If the git pre-commit hooks are installed (`pre-commit install` or `./runtests.sh --setup`), the local `commit-msg` hook blocks any commit that is missing this line, so the DCO check fails locally rather than in CI.

Do not report hooks as installed in dry-run mode.

With --dryrun --setup, the install commands are replaced by dry-run commands, but this message still says that hooks were installed. Print a dry-run-specific message or guard this success message.

Proposed fix

+    if [[ -z "$cmdPrefix" ]]; then
+        echo "${green}done! git hooks installed (black, isort, ruff, DCO sign-off).${noColor}"

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@runtests.sh` at line 449, Update the setup completion message in the dry-run
handling around the hook installation flow so --dryrun --setup does not claim
hooks were installed; emit a dry-run-specific message or suppress the success
message, while preserving the installed confirmation for real setup execution.
