An updater: what is published on Gitea, and installing it from Settings

Browse Source 
A new selfupdate package asks one URL what the newest build is — a Gitea/Forgejo repo
API base, or any directory holding VERSION, SHA256SUMS and hamlab-linux-<arch>, which is
what make release already writes and what install.sh already downloads. The binary is
checked against SHA256SUMS before it goes near the running one, and a token is sent when
the source is behind a login, so a private Gitea serves its own fleet without opening the
instance to everyone. Version ordering is install.sh's vnum rule, so the daemon and the
installer never disagree about which build is newer.

Settings gains an Updates card: installed, published, when it last looked, the source,
release notes, Check for updates, and Install. The rail badges Settings when a newer
build is out. Nothing installs unasked — it restarts the daemon and drops terminals.

scripts/gitea-release.sh (make gitea-release) publishes dist/ as a Gitea release.
Deliberate, and not part of deploy: deploy pushes to the machines this hub owns,
publishing offers the build to every install anywhere.
