feat(update): unify the updater with Sabiá's Gitea-based mechanism

Replaces the signed tauri-plugin-updater (latest.json manifest, minisign
key pair) with the same simple mechanism Sabiá already uses: query the
Gitea Releases API directly, download the matching platform archive,
verify its SHA-256 checksum, and swap the binary in place. The CI job
that built the old latest.json manifest is removed in the next commit,
alongside an unrelated runner-routing change to the same workflow file.

- New guara-core::update module (check/apply), ported from
  sabia-core::update and adapted to Guará's own release asset naming
  (guara-<tag>-<platform>.tar.gz, matching scripts/package-cli.sh).
- New Engine::update_check / Engine::update_apply, wired into the RPC
  service for the browser UI.
- New CLI subcommand: "guara update" (check) and "guara update --apply"
  (download, verify, replace), mirroring "sabia update".
- GUI: replaced the Tauri plugin-updater flow (download_and_install,
  update-progress events, in-app restart) with a call to the new
  update_check/update_apply commands. The desktop app can no longer
  self-install in one click — it now points the user to the Releases
  page, same as Sabiá's desktop app already does.
- Removed tauri-plugin-updater, createUpdaterArtifacts and the
  updater.pubkey config, the signing-key loading in build-gui.sh, the
  CI step testing the old latest.json generator, and the now-unused
  make-latest-json.py/test_make_latest_json.py scripts.
- Documented the break for existing installs in CHANGELOG.md /
  CHANGELOG.pt-BR.md: versions up to 1.3.2 won't find this release
  automatically and need one manual download.

Trade-off accepted knowingly: SHA-256 verifies integrity against
Gitea's own API but, unlike the retired signed mechanism, does not
protect against a compromised Gitea server independently of it. This
is Lucas's own self-hosted instance, not a third-party mirror.

## Updates
When the desktop app opens it asks Gitea for the release's `latest.json`. If a newer version exists, a card appears at the bottom right with the versions, **What's new** (the CHANGELOG notes) and **Update now**. The app downloads the package, verifies its signature against the public key built into the app, installs and reopens by itself. On Linux this works for the AppImage (the file is replaced in place); installs from `.deb` or `.rpm` only show the notice with the release address. **Settings > Automatic updates** turns the startup check off and has a **Check now** button. The check sends nothing besides what any browser sends to Gitea. `guara ui` in the browser does not update itself.
