Auto-detect latest Maldet release instead of hardcoding version

Browse Source 
Change: Script now queries GitHub API to automatically find latest release tag

Benefits:
- Always uses newest Maldet version (no manual updates needed)
- Falls back to v2.0.1-rc4 if API is unavailable
- Fallback to main branch if release fetch fails
- Future-proof - works with any new releases

Implementation:
- Query GitHub releases/latest API
- Extract tag_name dynamically
- Use that version in download URL
- Fallback chain: Latest → main branch
