Adds silent update installation feature

Implements silent update installation with detached process execution.

This change introduces methods to perform silent updates, allowing the application to upgrade without user interaction. It also allows for custom SMB/network paths.

The installer is launched as a detached process to prevent blocking issues with the main application, and the application quits after the installer launches.
