[TASK] Enable Chocolatey package auto-update on release

[sergio-sisternes-epam]

Summary

Enable the Chocolatey package auto-update job in the release workflow so that apm is installable via choco install apm on Windows.

Current State

The release workflow already contains a fully scaffolded update-chocolatey job:

• File: .github/workflows/build-release.yml
• Job definition: starts at line 692
• Disabled guard to remove: line 700 — if: false && github.ref_type == 'tag' && startsWith(github.ref_name, 'v')
• Target repo: microsoft/chocolatey-apm (needs to be created)

The job dispatches a repository_dispatch event to the Chocolatey package repo with the version and download URL.

Tasks

• Create the microsoft/chocolatey-apm Chocolatey package repository with the nuspec and install script
• Register the package on chocolatey.org (or use an internal feed)
• Remove the false && guard from line 700 in build-release.yml
• Test the end-to-end flow: tag a release -> Chocolatey package updated -> choco install apm works
• Update install instructions in README.md and docs/getting-started.md

Hi @sergio-sisternes-epam - can I ask why choco support is not planned? Or is this coming via a different issue?
