refactor: improve Makefile structure and usability (#11)

Browse Source 
## Description

This PR refactors the Makefile to improve usability, maintainability, and cross-platform compatibility.
The changes modernize the Makefile structure and make it more user-friendly.

Changes made:
- Renamed the `it` target to `build` for better clarity and conventional naming.
- Added a `help` target as the default goal to display available targets and their descriptions.
- Moved the TEST variable to the top with other configuration variables for better organization.
- Updated binary name from `lambda.exe` to `lambda` and used `${BINARY_NAME}` variable consistently throughout.
- Replaced all `@` prefixes with the `.SILENT:` directive for cleaner syntax.
- Added a `clean` target to remove all build artifacts (binary, program.out, profile directory).
- Made the `graph` target cross-platform by replacing macOS-specific `open` command with file:// URL echo.
- Updated .gitignore to include the `lambda` binary.

### Decisions

- Used `.SILENT:` directive instead of individual `@` prefixes for a cleaner, more maintainable Makefile.
- Made `help` the default target so users can run `make` without arguments to see available commands.
- Removed platform-specific commands (like `open`) in favor of cross-platform alternatives.

## Benefits

- Improved discoverability: Users can run `make` to see all available targets.
- Better maintainability: Using `${BINARY_NAME}` variable consistently makes future changes easier.
- Cross-platform compatibility: Removed macOS-specific commands.
- Cleaner syntax: `.SILENT:` directive eliminates repetitive `@` prefixes.
- More conventional: Renamed `it` to `build` follows standard Makefile conventions.

## Checklist

- [x] Code follows conventional commit format.
