Update: check, verify and stage releases in a new fieldcraft-update crate (#231)

Versions ordered as SemVer, the GitHub Releases API reply read as hostile input, how this
copy is installed (macOS app or CLI, Windows folder, AppImage, tar.gz folder, .deb/.rpm) and
which release asset updates it, the checksum list's minisign signature checked against the
built-in release key, the asset's SHA-256 checked against the list, archives unpacked inside
the staging folder, and the swap planned and applied by renames with undo on failure. The
network and unpacking parts are native only; a mock release server drives the tests.
