Description

## Summary

Several READMEs and the swarm `run.sh` scripts install the `aca` CLI from `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/azure-container-apps/main/docs/early/aca-cli/install.sh` (and `install.ps1`), while the documented install command is `curl -fsSL https://aka.ms/aca-cli-install | sh` (PowerShell: `irm https://aka.ms/aca-cli-install-ps | iex`). The repo is internally inconsistent: `cli/samples/01-webapps/simple-anonymous/cli/README.md` already uses `https://aka.ms/aca-cli-install`.

## Affected (non-exhaustive)

- `cli/README.md` (multiple lines)
- `cli/samples/04-swarms/01-sandbox-inception/cli/run.sh` (in-sandbox bootstrap)
- `cli/samples/04-swarms/02-shared-blob-memory/cli/run.sh`

## Fix

Standardize on `https://aka.ms/aca-cli-install` / `https://aca.ms/aca-cli-install-ps`. For the in-sandbox bootstrap in the swarm scripts, confirm the short link installs the same binary in that context before swapping.

Research direction

Start with cli/README.md and the listed swarm run.sh files, comparing them with cli/samples/01-webapps/simple-anonymous/cli/README.md, which already uses the short link. Verify that the short link installs the same aca CLI in the in-sandbox context, then update the affected install references. Done means the documented and affected bootstrap commands consistently use the appropriate aka.ms links.
