Implement deferred update mechanism using a helper batch script that applies
updates after the application exits, avoiding Windows file locking issues.

On Windows, the updater now:

  • Stages update files and creates a helper batch script
  • Launches the script as a detached process
  • Exits the application
  • The script waits for app closure, applies updates, and restarts Citron

Linux AppImage updates continue to work as before with the existing method.
