Replace the <owner>/<repo> placeholders with the actual GitHub release repo
now that it's known.

mixeme bfd9991a3a docs: roadmap item for GitHub release update check
Plan a best-effort, opt-in check that compares app.Version against the
latest published GitHub Release and surfaces an "Update available" hint in
Settings — detection and notification only, no auto-download.

### Update check from GitHub releases
Releases are published as GitHub Releases (tags like `v0.12.0`, built by
`.github/workflows/release.yml`), but the app never tells the user a newer
version exists — they have to check the releases page by hand.
Add an update check that queries the GitHub Releases API
(`GET /repos/mixeme/gosentry/releases/latest`) for the latest published tag,
strips the leading `v`, and compares it against `app.Version`. When a newer
version is available, surface it non-intrusively — an "Update available"
line in Settings (next to the existing version/build info) with a hyperlink
to the release page, not a modal on launch.
Design notes / open questions:
- *Opt-in and offline-safe.* The check makes a network request, so it must be
off by default (or clearly consented) and never block startup. Failures
(offline, rate-limited, API change) should be silent — no error dialogs for a
best-effort convenience feature.
- *Version comparison.* Compare semantic versions, not strings, so `0.12.0`
reads as newer than `0.9.0`. A tiny semver comparator in `app` (or a small
dependency) avoids lexical bugs.
- *Where the check lives.* Keep it in the `app` layer behind the Service so the
UI only renders the result, and cache the last check so opening Settings
repeatedly does not spam the API (unauthenticated GitHub allows 60 req/h).
- *Repo coordinates.* The primary remote is Gitea; the GitHub repo used for
releases is [`mixeme/gosentry`](https://github.com/mixeme/gosentry) and must
be wired in explicitly (constant or build-time value) rather than derived from
`origin`.
- *No auto-download.* Scope is detection and notification only; installing the
update stays a manual click-through to the release page.
