Pull Request Overview

This PR adds automatic update functionality to the Anytype CLI by extracting update logic into a reusable core package and implementing background update checks. The update now runs silently in the background on CLI startup once every 24 hours.

• Refactored update logic from cmd/update/update.go to core/update/update.go for reusability
• Added automatic update checking via core/autoupdate/autoupdate.go that runs in a goroutine on startup
• Integrated auto-update into main entry point with lock file to prevent concurrent updates

Cool feature!

(1) Please add documentation on how to disable auto-update

Why:

As a developer,
- If I'm in the middle of testing an app that connects to the cli, I don't want the cli to do an automatic update and possibly create confusing test results
- If I've done a custom build of anytype-heart and/or the cli, to test bug fixes, I don't want it to automatically update and revert to the unpatched version

As a NixOS user,
- Apps are installed declaratively, and installed on a read-only file system, so automatic updates will probably fail

(2) It might be useful to add a cli command (such as anytype update check) to report whether an update is available. It is not strictly required, because one can query github for releases, but since the logic is in the cli, it might be simpler to surface in the cli with an easy-to-parse output.

Thanks!
