Closes #36.

Adds a short UTM (macOS virtual machine) subsection under Quick Start that points users toward the community-maintained walkthrough at mayurjobanputra/AlphaClaw-in-UTM-on-Mac. That guide already covers UTM install, Apple Silicon vs Intel ISO selection, UTM VM configuration (8 GB RAM, 4 CPU, 30 GB disk), and the Ubuntu guest install steps, so the new README section keeps the footprint tiny: one linked paragraph, plus a note that once the VM is up the Local / Docker steps above apply unchanged inside the guest.

This is the smallest docs touch that addresses the issue - a reader following the Quick Start now finds the UTM path without having to search outside the README, and the external walkthrough remains the source of truth for the VM setup details so the README doesn't duplicate (or diverge from) them over time.

Closes chrysb#36

Points users who want filesystem isolation from the Mac host at the
community-maintained UTM install guide
(mayurjobanputra/AlphaClaw-in-UTM-on-Mac), which already covers the
full flow: UTM install, Apple Silicon vs Intel ISO selection, UTM VM
configuration, and the Ubuntu guest install steps. Notes the 8 GB
RAM / 4 CPU / 30 GB disk recommendation called out in that guide, and
points readers back at the existing Local / Docker steps once the VM
is up so the UTM path reuses the same install surface as the rest of
the Quick Start section.
