Add a self-update module that checks GitHub Releases for newer versions,
downloads the platform-appropriate binary, and replaces the running
executable in-place. In-place replacement at the same path preserves
macOS TCC grants (Accessibility, Input Monitoring, Microphone).
Components:
- murmur-core/src/update.rs: core update logic (check, download, replace)
- Queries GitHub Releases API for latest version
- Compares semver to determine if update is available
- Downloads platform artifact (darwin-arm64, darwin-x86_64, linux-x86_64,
windows-x86_64)
- Extracts archive and atomically replaces the binary
- Re-signs with codesign on macOS
- CLI: `murmur update` checks and installs; `murmur update --check` checks only
- Config: `auto_update: bool` (default false) for opt-in auto-updates
- Startup: background thread checks for updates on launch
- If auto_update enabled, downloads and applies automatically
- Otherwise notifies via tray menu
- Tray: "Check for Updates..." menu item, shows available version when found
