When the in-container self-updater downloads a new version, it writes
trigger.json. The new systemd path unit watches for this file and runs
dashcaddy-update.sh, which backs up current API files, copies the new
ones, rebuilds the container, verifies health, and writes result.json.
Automatic rollback on build or health check failure.
Also fixes undefined `isWindows` variable in self-updater.js and adds
DASHCADDY_HOST_UPDATES_DIR env var to the installer's docker-compose
template for correct container-to-host path translation.

- Added automatic volume path translation in deployment (deploy.js)
- Updated FileBrowser template to use /opt/ instead of hard-coded E:/
- Migrated self-updater.js to use centralized platformPaths module
- Updated UI placeholders to use platform-neutral paths (/media/)
- All paths now automatically adapt to Windows or Linux at runtime via process.platform detection
- Fix container-to-host path mapping in trigger.json (stagingDir
was using container path /app/updates/ instead of host path
/opt/dashcaddy/updates/)
- Fix download race condition: primary download's async unlink
could delete mirror download's file — use unlinkSync before retry
- Fix DASHCADDY_COMMIT build arg not passed to docker compose build
(was set as env var, now uses --build-arg)
- Remove MakeDirectory=yes from systemd path unit (was creating
trigger.json as directory instead of file)
- Remove unused 'tar' npm module import
- Add mirror fallback for tarball downloads (not just version checks)

- self-updater.js: polls for new versions, downloads/verifies tarballs,
triggers host-side rebuild via systemd path unit
- dashcaddy-update.sh + systemd units: host-side container rebuild with
automatic rollback on health check failure
- 7 new /api/v1/system/* endpoints for version info, update check/apply,
rollback, and update history
- Frontend: DashCaddy tab in Updates modal with version display,
changelog, update button, rollback, and notification dot
- install.sh: updater service installation, volume mounts, env vars
- build-release.sh + webhook-handler.js: release server pipeline
(Gitea webhook → build tarball → deploy to get.dashcaddy.net)
- Dockerfile: DASHCADDY_COMMIT build arg → VERSION file
- Version bump to 1.1.0
