release.yml: add static-musl x86_64 build (Alpine)

Adds a third matrix job that builds a static-musl binary on Alpine
so future tags ship 4 assets per arch: dynamic + static.

The dynamic x86_64 build (gcc on ubuntu-latest) hits a glibc-version
ceiling — built against glibc 2.39, refuses to run on Debian 12
(2.36), RHEL 8/9, etc. install.sh now fetches the static asset by
default for x86_64; the dynamic remains available via
SKELETONKEY_DYNAMIC=1.

Static build details:
- Alpine container (native musl + linux-headers from apk).
- -DMSG_COPY=040000 covers the only musl-vs-glibc gap
  (netfilter_xtcompat uses MSG_COPY, which is a Linux-kernel
  constant that glibc exposes but musl omits — kernel header:
  include/uapi/linux/msg.h).
- LDFLAGS=-static produces a static-PIE ELF (~1.2 MB).
- Cross-distro verified locally: Alpine-built binary runs on
  Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/RHEL.

Locally-built static binary was uploaded to v0.6.2 by hand to
unblock the one-liner installer immediately.

# Portable static-musl build for x86_64. Runs in Alpine (native
# musl + linux-headers) so the resulting binary works on every
# libc — glibc 2.x of any version, musl, etc. This is what
# install.sh fetches by default (the dynamic binary above hits a
# glibc-version ceiling on older distros like Debian 12 / RHEL 8).
