Allow automatic updates to be limited to selected packages

[Gabriel Dufresne (GabrielDuf)]

This pull request introduces support for marking packages for automatic updates, along with UI and backend changes to manage and reflect this new functionality. It also adds new styles for toggle buttons and improves the handling of package icons. The most important changes are summarized below:

Automatic Updates Feature:

• Added new automatic update management functionality, including logic to mark/unmark packages for automatic updates, update the database accordingly, and display context-sensitive hints in the UI (InstallOptionsViewModel.cs, AvaloniaBootstrapper.cs).
• Removed the obsolete AutoUpdatePackage property from the install options flow, centralizing auto-update state in the new database logic (InstallOptionsViewModel.cs).

Localization:

• Added and updated English strings related to automatic updates, package marking, and scheduled maintenance for improved user guidance (lang_en.json).

UI/UX Improvements:

• Introduced new accent-style toggle button styles for filter chips, improving visual clarity for on/off states in the UI (Styles.Common.axaml).

Backend and Infrastructure:

• Ensured the automatic updates migration runs during package engine initialization, preparing the system for the new feature (AvaloniaBootstrapper.cs).
• Added missing using directives to support new functionality and maintain code consistency (AvaloniaBootstrapper.cs, InstallOptionsViewModel.cs, PackageCollections.cs).

Icon Handling:

• Added a static method to PackageWrapper to support shared icon loading for packages, respecting user settings (PackageCollections.cs).
• Implemented the IPackageIconHost interface for PackageWrapper to standardize icon handling (PackageCollections.cs).

• The migration treats any raw AutoUpdatePackage: true as active even when that package file has OverridesNextLevelOpts: false. In that state, the legacy updater ignored the package value and loaded manager defaults (InstallOptionsFactory.cs:83-89), so a stale local true can now unexpectedly mark the package and enable scheduled installation. Honor the override flag when importing; a missing flag should remain eligible because the legacy deserializer infers overrides for older non-default files.

• The shared resolver falls back to the Microsoft Store icon for several supported managers used here: Bun, Flatpak, Homebrew, Snap, and PowerShell7 are absent from its switch even though their icon assets exist (PowerShell7 can reuse powershell.svg). As a result, rows for those managers display the wrong manager icon. Add mappings for every supported manager before using the resolver for this list.

                ManagerIconResolver.Resolve(package.Manager.Properties.Name.ToLower()),

• The bulk toolbar path calls Add once per selected package, and each call rewrites the complete settings dictionary synchronously. Marking many packages therefore performs N full file writes on the UI thread and can freeze the updates page. Collect the new IDs and use the added AddRange API once.

        foreach (var pkg in packages)
        {
            string id = AutoUpdatesDatabase.GetIdForPackage(pkg);
            if (AutoUpdatesDatabase.IsAutoUpdated(id)) continue;
            AutoUpdatesDatabase.Add(id);
            marked++;

• This resolver input does not match several actual manager keys. For example, the .NET manager is named .NET Tool (UniGetUI.PackageEngine.Managers.Dotnet/DotNet.cs:51-52), so this passes .net tool, while ManagerIconResolver only recognizes dotnet; Homebrew, Flatpak, Snap, Bun, and PowerShell7 are also unmapped. Those rows therefore show the Microsoft Store fallback icon. Resolve icons from a stable canonical manager identifier and cover the supported managers (with a neutral fallback) instead of reusing this incomplete name map.

                ManagerIconResolver.Resolve(package.Manager.Properties.Name.ToLower()),

src/UniGetUI.Avalonia/ViewModels/DialogPages/ManageAutoUpdatesViewModel.cs:294

• “Never” is inaccurate for temporary date-based ignores: IgnoredUpdatesDatabase.HasUpdatesIgnored removes an expired <yyyy-MM-dd entry, and the retained automatic-update mark then becomes active again. Use wording such as “currently ignored, so it cannot be updated automatically right now” so the status matches both temporary and permanent ignores.

        StatusTip = isIgnored
            ? CoreTools.Translate("This package has its updates ignored, so it will never be updated automatically")
