Add self-hosted update system via Forgejo releases

The app now checks for new APK releases on a Forgejo instance and can download and install them without leaving the app. Settings: - New "Update repository URL" field (e.g. https://git.example.com/user/fabled_app) - "App version" tile with a manual "Check" button and live status display - Download progress bar and "Install" button appear when update is found Startup: - Shell runs a silent background check on first load when a repo URL is set - A dialog appears automatically if a newer release is found Provider (update_provider.dart): - UpdateNotifier: idle → checking → available → downloading → available - Hits Forgejo /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest - Parses semver tag, finds .apk asset, downloads with progress via Dio - Opens the APK with open_file to trigger the system package installer Android: - REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission - FileProvider configured for open_file (shares APK URI with installer) - res/xml/file_paths.xml covers external-files and cache directories Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
