Update the game from inside it (#13 )

"Version X is available" in the top bar is now a button that opens an
Update popup:
- Update and restart gets the download link from the server (the redirect
  is not followed, as the Gitea link needs no token), downloads the new game
  next to the running one with a progress bar, checks it (complete, and an
  MZ or ELF file), swaps it in and restarts. The quiz is saved first and
  continues. On Windows the running .exe is renamed to .old, put back if
  the swap fails, and deleted at the next start.
- Download in browser opens the .exe, the Linux package, or the release
  page on other platforms.
- From the editor, an unwritable folder or another platform, only the
  browser download is offered, with the reason.

The message now fits between the tabs and the buttons in every theme; in
Nord and Christmas it ran into Sync. The macOS export preset is removed,
and the unused download_client_* functions are replaced by
fetch_client_download_url.

Closes #13

Releasing

Releases are made from the version in project.godot (Project > Project Settings > Application > Config > Version). The game shows the same version in the About window.

Bump the version, e.g. from 1.9.0 to 1.10.0, and add a WHATS_NEW entry in popups/about_popup.gd.
Merge to main and push.

The Build workflow (.gitea/workflows/gitea-build.yaml) then:

runs the tests,
exports the Windows and Linux builds, and packages Linux as MusicPlayer_<version>_linux.tar.gz with the icon, an app menu entry and install.sh (Linux programs can't carry their own icon the way a Windows .exe does),
if no tag exists for the version yet: uploads the builds to the package registry under MusicPlayer/<version>/, and creates the <version> tag and Gitea release with the builds attached.

Pushes that don't change the version, and pushes to develop, only test and export. Don't create tags or 1.x.y branches by hand; the workflow makes the tag.

Installing on Linux

Unpack MusicPlayer_<version>_linux.tar.gz and run ./install.sh inside the MusicPlayer folder. It installs the game to ~/.local/bin and adds it, with its icon, to the app menu. The bare MusicPlayer_<version>.x86_64 is still published for anyone who just wants to run the file.

Updating

When the server has a newer release, the top bar says "Version X is available". Clicking it offers Update and restart: the game downloads its new file from the release (MusicPlayer_<version>.exe on Windows, MusicPlayer_<version>.x86_64 on Linux, through the server's /download/<platform> routes), puts it in place of the running file and starts it, and the quiz continues where it was. On Windows the old file is kept as <game>.old until the next start. So keep the release file names as they are: the server finds them by their ending. Where the game can't replace itself (run from the editor, a folder it can't write to, or another platform), it opens the download in the browser instead.
