feat(tauri): install stable Windows updates with WinGet

Replace the official release notification link with a native WinGet upgrade on local Tauri Windows sessions. Other hosts and platforms continue opening the existing release URL.

Run WinGet silently without a console window and let the NSIS installer close the application. Validated with Cargo check, the UI TypeScript check, and a live upgrade from CodeNomad 0.17.0 to 0.18.0.
