Subject: add --no-dl/-N option to skip downloads and set NODOWNLOAD=yes

Adds --no-dl/-N flag for use with --hintfile or --new. Skips wget,
inserts NODOWNLOAD=yes after MD5SUM_x86_64 in the hint file. Also
fixes README (correct paths, old command name, missing --delete/--clean
sections) and updates CLAUDE.md and bash completion accordingly.

 ### Create a new hint file from .info
 
 Generates a new hint file from the corresponding repository .info file:
 
 ```bash
-mkhintfile --version 1.2.3 --new mypackage
+mkhint --version 1.2.3 --new mypackage
 ```
 
 The .info file is copied as a template, unwanted variables (PRGNAM, HOMEPAGE, MAINTAINER, EMAIL) are removed, and ARCH is set to x86_64.

 ### Create an empty hint file
 
 Creates a fresh hint file with empty variables:
 
 ```bash
-mkhintfile --new mypackage
+mkhint --new mypackage
 ```
 
 ### List hint files
 
 ```bash
-mkhintfile --list
