feat: Codeberg update checker with confirmation flow

- New Rust module: update_checker.rs — fetches semver.yml from Codeberg API,
  parses root version, compares with local version
- Rewritten UpdateChecker.svelte: Codeberg API instead of GitHub, confirmation
  dialog (Yes/No), updates pending state when declined, no updates needed
  after install
- Wired UpdateChecker into SettingsView About section
- Registered check_codeberg_for_updates Tauri command
