feat(updater): nightly builds and a stable/nightly update channel (#1608)

* feat(updater): nightly builds and a stable/nightly update channel

Every master push publishes its artifacts as a prerelease of
4gray/iptvnator-nightly instead of the rolling test-master draft, with a
version of <next patch>-nightly.<commit date>.<run number> applied in
every build job. Settings → About gains an Update channel switch;
AppUpdateService re-points electron-updater per check (feed repository,
allowPrerelease, channel name, allowDowngrade reset) and reads release
notes from the repository the requested version belongs to. Channel
switches are forward-only: a nightly build stays until a newer stable
release exists.

* fix(updater): compute the nightly version once and keep re-runs safe

Review follow-ups: the nightly version is resolved by a leading job and
handed to every build job, and the patch is bumped only when the base
tag already exists so the release-cut window stays below the imminent
release. A re-run never deletes a published nightly; only a draft left
by a failed run is replaced. Typed update-status literals in the
remaining specs carry the new channel fields.

* test(packaging): expect the nightly-version prerequisite in the build workflow graph
