🚀 [Feature]: Install only the Nerd Font variants you need with faster reruns (#77)

Install-NerdFont can now install only the Nerd Font variants you want, reuse cached archives between runs, and skip work for fonts that are already present in the requested scope. Multi-font installs also finish faster because archive downloads are batched and extraction uses the underlying .NET zip APIs directly.

New: Install only the variants you need

Use -Variant to limit each archive to the families you actually want to register. This is useful for terminal-focused setups where only the monospace family is needed.

Install-NerdFont -Name 'FiraCode' -Variant Mono
Install-NerdFont -All -Variant Mono

All remains the default, so existing scripts keep the current behavior unless they opt into Standard, Mono, or Propo.

Changed: Repeated installs reuse prior work

When a font is already installed in the requested scope and -Force is not used, Install-NerdFont now skips the download, extraction, and install phases for that font. Downloaded archives are cached per Nerd Fonts release, so retries and overlapping reruns can reuse the same zip instead of fetching it again.

Install-NerdFont -Name 'Hack'
Install-NerdFont -Name 'Hack' # skips when already installed
Install-NerdFont -Name 'Hack' -Force # re-downloads and reinstalls

Changed: Multi-font installs complete faster

Bulk installs now resolve the target font set once, avoid duplicate work from overlapping name patterns, download archives in bounded batches, and extract them with System.IO.Compression.ZipFile. The end result is less waiting during -All and other multi-font runs without changing the default install surface.

Technical Details

• Install-NerdFont now deduplicates the resolved font list, skips already-installed fonts without -Force, caches archives under the user cache directory, downloads uncached archives through System.Net.Http.HttpClient, extracts with System.IO.Compression.ZipFile, and filters extracted files by -Variant before calling Install-Font.
• tests/NerdFonts.Tests.ps1 adds coverage for -Variant Mono installs.
• scripts/Measure-InstallPerformance.ps1 adds repeatable performance scenarios for single-font, subset, rerun, and optional -All measurements.
• README.md now documents variant installs, skip-on-rerun behavior, and cache bypass with -Force.
• Implementation plan progress: the work tracked by #70 through #76 is completed in this PR.
