fix: Resolve CI/CD build failures for automated releases (v1.0.1)

This patch release fixes the GitHub Actions workflow that was failing
during FFmpeg installation due to interactive prompts.

Changes:
- Enhanced install_ffmpeg.py to auto-detect CI environments
- Added CI environment detection to build.py
- Updated GitHub Actions workflow to use --auto flag
- Bumped version to 1.0.1
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with fix details

The workflow now properly detects GitHub Actions environment and
bypasses interactive prompts automatically.

Fixes #N/A (initial release workflow issue)
