Update Manager Wiki

The README covers what Update Manager is, why you'd want it, and how to install and set it up. This Wiki covers the rest, in detail:

• Understanding the interface: what each tab, badge, status, and the detail dialog's own timeline actually mean.
• How auto-install decides: the exact order Update Manager checks before installing anything on its own.
• Settings reference: every setting on the Settings tab, explained.
• Automating Update Manager: the sensors, events, and actions it exposes, with a ready-to-paste example automation.
• Known limitations: what it deliberately doesn't do, or can't do yet.
• Troubleshooting: fixes for the most common questions.
• For card authors: maintain your own Lovelace card? How to get it a real icon in Update Manager's own lists.
