Updated to handle case where if KickTalk was started with the auto-updater enabled and is showing a notification, and then the user goes into settings and disables auto-updates, the existing notification would still be there until restart. Now it dismisses. |

This PR adds a user setting to control automatic update checking, addressing a real issue where auto-update errors can block user access to the application.
Problem
The auto-updater currently runs automatically on startup and can cause disruptive errors when builds aren't available for all platforms:
Error: Cannot find latest-linux.yml in the latest release artifacts
HttpError: 404 - https://github.com/KickTalkOrg/KickTalk/releases/download/1.1.3/latest-linux.yml
This error appears because the project doesn't currently have automated Linux/macOS build workflows, which is understandable for a project this size. However, the auto-update notification prevents users from accessing chats when it fails.
