Add Linux, Windows, DEB, and RPM standalone agent upgrade commands

[Copilot]

Summary

Fixes #[Fleet]: Standalone Agent Upgrade Commands not displayed for Non-macOS

The standalone agent upgrade documentation only showed macOS commands. Added tabbed interface with upgrade commands for all supported platforms:

• macOS: /Library/Elastic/Agent/
• Linux: /opt/Elastic/Agent/
• Windows: C:\Program Files\Elastic\Agent\ with PowerShell admin instructions
• DEB/RPM: Direct command (binary in PATH via systemd install)

Uses same tab-set syntax as install-standalone-elastic-agent.md and paths from installation-layout.md.

Doesn’t the sentence on L42 make this line redundant?

In fact, maybe L42 could be adapted and moved to precede the tabs to fit all cases? 🤔 Then we could keep only the elastic-agent command in the code blocks.

(I was also wondering whether in that case we could also merge the macOS/Linux tabs into a single tab and maybe the DEB/RPM tabs into another — or is it worth having a separate tab for each?)

I was mostly matching the tabs on the parent page: https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/fleet/install-standalone-elastic-agent. AFAIK, this is the pattern we follow on all (most?) pages. I think it makes sense to keep it this way.

Yes, good call!

@vishaangelova you're right that this step already tells folks to move to the right directory. I've simplified the instructions below. Thanks!
