v0.4.0: add update.sh

Fetch a newer release and apply it, preserving the nested-snapshot opt-in setting.

  bash update.sh              # to the newest release, with a confirmation
  bash update.sh --check      # show what would happen; change nothing
  bash update.sh --rollback   # undo the last update

Deliberately NOT automated. This patch injects Python into middlewared and
re-applies itself at every boot, so an unattended pull would let any bad upstream
commit reach a box with no human in the loop and take effect on the next reboot.
v0.0.4 shipped exactly such a bug and took every app on the box down. The manual
step is the safety gate.

Design decisions worth keeping:

- Defaults to the newest RELEASE TAG, not main. main can be mid-refactor; a tag is
  the tested artifact. --main exists but says so loudly.
- Tags ordered by version, not date. Date order silently downgrades the box the
  first time a hotfix is tagged out of band: a v0.3.6 cut after v0.4.0 would sort
  as "newest".
- Refuses to run over a dirty working tree rather than merging across hand-edited
  or scp'd files. (Verified: the guard fires.)
- Shows the commits and release notes you do not have, read from the TARGET's
  CHANGELOG via tools/release_notes.py -- not a second copy of the extractor.
- Records the previous revision BEFORE moving, so --rollback works even if
  install.sh dies halfway.
- Repairs .git ownership, which past `sudo git pull`s leave root-owned and which
  then breaks every later non-root git command.

update.sh is covered by the version-drift check, so it cannot go stale the way
create_task.py's __version__ did.

Tested end to end in a throwaway clone: detects v0.3.2 -> v0.3.5, lists missing
commits, handles already-up-to-date, and the dirty-tree guard fires.

132 tests, ruff and shellcheck clean.

# Changelog
## v0.4.0 — 2026-07-13
### Added
- **`update.sh`** — fetch a newer release and apply it, preserving your
nested-snapshot opt-in setting.
```bash
bash update.sh # to the newest release, with a confirmation
bash update.sh --check # show what would happen; change nothing
bash update.sh --rollback # undo the last update
```
**Run it by hand. Never from cron or a systemd timer.** This patch injects
Python into middlewared and re-applies itself at every boot, so an unattended
pull would let any bad upstream commit reach your box with no human in the loop
and take effect on the next reboot. v0.0.4 shipped exactly such a bug and took
every app on the box down. The manual step *is* the safety gate.
Design:
- **Defaults to the newest release tag, not `main`.** `main` can be mid-refactor;
a tag is the tested artifact. `--main` exists but says so loudly.
- Tags are ordered by **version**, not by date — date order silently downgrades
the box the first time a hotfix is tagged out of band (a v0.3.6 released after
v0.4.0 would sort as "newest").
- **Refuses to run over a dirty working tree** rather than merging across
hand-edited or scp'd files.
- Shows the commits you don't have and the target's release notes (read from the
*target's* CHANGELOG, via `tools/release_notes.py` — not a second copy of the
extractor), then asks before doing anything.
- **Records the previous revision before moving**, so `--rollback` works even if
`install.sh` dies halfway.
- Repairs `.git` ownership, which past `sudo git pull`s leave root-owned and
which then breaks every later non-root git command.
- `update.sh` is covered by the version-drift check, so it cannot quietly go stale
the way `create_task.py.__version__` did.
