Default to auto-detected 64-bit MSBuild on 64-bit hosts (breaking change, v4)

Fixes #88

- msbuild-architecture no longer hardcodes a default of "x86". When the
  input is left unspecified, the action now auto-detects: it prefers x64
  when running on a 64-bit machine and the resolved VS/MSBuild install is
  17.0+ (VS 2022+), and falls back to x86 otherwise. An explicit
  msbuild-architecture value is always respected.
- Extracted resolveMSBuildArchitecture()/parseMajorVersion() as pure,
  exported helpers and added jest tests covering the resolution matrix.
- Bumped package.json version to 4.0.0 (breaking change/new major version).
- Updated action.yml input description and README (usage examples now
  reference @v4, new "Breaking Changes in v4" section, and the
  architecture-selection docs rewritten to describe auto-detection).
- Rebuilt dist/index.js via ncc.
