docs(linux): align the two guides on what Linux actually captures
Two claims went stale when evdev click capture landed, and they disagreed with
each other across the two public guides.
README said "click effects remain macOS and Windows only". That was true of the
portal, which still reports no mouse button events, but no longer true of the
app: the capture helper reads the left button from evdev instead. Rewritten to
say so, with the condition that actually matters to a user — the `input` group —
and what happens without it (recording unaffected, every sample a move).
website/docs/installation.md called the Linux capture pipeline "Browser
pipeline" while README described native PipeWire capture with a browser
fallback. The README was right: startNativeLinuxRecordingIfAvailable takes the
native path and only returns false on a missing helper, where the comment reads
"Falling back beats refusing to record". The table now says the same thing, and
names what the fallback costs.
Verified against the source rather than the docs — input.rs (left button only,
`input` group, OPENSCREEN_DISABLE_CLICK_CAPTURE), pipeWireCursorRecordingSession
and the Linux branch of useScreenRecorder — since writing a capability claim we
cannot keep is the defect this PR exists to fix.
Neither line was introduced here; both arrived on main with the Linux click
work. Corrected here rather than left to drift because this PR already touches
