tauri-updater-ui: relaunch into the new version after install downloadAndInstall replaces the app on disk but does not restart it, so the UI sat at "Restarting..." forever. Call window.__TAURI__.process.relaunch() after a successful install (best-effort: host app must register the process plugin; falls back to a "quit and reopen" message if absent, so apps without it aren't broken).
