Subject: [PATCH] [fix](trx-rs): install binaries under user home

Default installation and removal to /home/sjg/.local/bin while preserving explicit prefix and binary-directory overrides. Update the service examples and README to match.

 This builds in release mode, installs `trx-server`, `trx-client`, and
-`trx-configurator` to `/usr/local/bin` (using `sudo` only if needed), seeds
+`trx-configurator` to `~/.local/bin`, seeds
 `~/.config/trx-rs/trx-rs.toml` from the example (existing config is never
 overwritten), and installs `~/.config/systemd/user/{trx-server,trx-client}.service`.
