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.

+1) Aggiunti i pulsanti "Download" al MailViewer, PDF e Image viewer, per scaricare il file invece di aprirlo direttamente.
 2) Refactor del sistema di bug report.
 3) Rimosso temporaneamente il fetching dei dati macchina all'apertura della pagine delle impostazioni, per evitare problemi di performance.
 4) Fixato un bug dove, nel Bug Reporting, non si disattivaa il pulsante di invio, se tutti i campi erano compilati.
