Fix updater: resolve latest via Codeberg API, not the broken /latest/ alias

Browse Source 
Codeberg does not serve the `/releases/latest/download/<file>` alias (404s); only
tag-specific `/releases/download/<tag>/<file>` URLs work. The update feed baked into
the app used the alias, so update checks never resolved on any platform.

Now both the Linux notifier and the Windows electron-updater resolve the newest
release via the Codeberg API (`/releases/latest` -> tag_name) and build the working
tag-specific feed URL from it (setFeedURL for electron-updater).
