v0.3.59: detect updates from main, GUI upgrade button + open notification

- Update check now compares the installed version against main's version.go
  (installs come from main, which is ahead of GitHub releases), so "update
  available" is detected correctly instead of never.
- GUI shows a sidebar "Aggiorna Vortelio" button and a one-time toast on open
  when a newer version is available (plus the existing topbar/settings entries).
- Advanced sidebar group: raise max-height so items aren't clipped.
