If an update is available, you can now trigger the full download,
install, and restart from a single command palette action. This allows
for a fully keyboard-driven update process.
While an update is being installed, an option to cancel or skip the
current update is also shown as an option, so that can also be
keyboard-driven.
This currently can't be bound to a keyboard action, but that may be
added in the future if there's demand for it.
**AI Disclosure:** Amp was used considerably. I reviewed all the code
and understand it.

Ghostty now has a release channel build configuration. Current valid
values are "tip" and "stable" but I imagine more will be added in the
future.
The release channel is inferred whether the version we specify with the
`-Dversion-string` build flag has a prerelease tag or not. If it does,
the release channel is "tip". If it doesn't, the release channel is
"stable".
This also adds a configuration to specify the release channel for
auto-updates for the macOS application.
