fix(deploy): verify CLAP and VST3 install freshness

The script only checked the VST3 existed, so a plugin loaded in the DAW (which
locks its binary and makes the copy fail silently) left a STALE install that
passed verification. Compare install vs build timestamps for both formats and
warn when stale ("loaded in your DAW").
