docs: correct auto-update platform support#754
Conversation
The Automatic Updater is documented as Windows-only, but in 7.1 it also downloads and installs updates on macOS (Sparkle) and on Linux AppImage builds (in-app AppImage updater). Only Linux distribution packages are notify-only. Clarify the Windows flow as a silent download followed by a user-confirmed "Restart required" prompt. Source: src/gui/updater/updater.cpp, appimageupdater.cpp, sparkleupdater_mac.mm, ocupdater.cpp. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Müller <1005065+DeepDiver1975@users.noreply.github.com>

Rewrites the Automatic Updater page: corrects it from "Windows-only" to documenting macOS (Sparkle) and Linux AppImage in-app updates, with Linux distro packages remaining notify-only, per the master/7.1 pair (#753).
Findings
Nothing blocking. Prose-only change, no links/xrefs touched, admonition and section structure preserved correctly. Not independently re-verified against owncloud/client source (out of scope here).

Summary
master counterpart of #753.
The Automatic Updater page documents auto-update as Windows-only, but that is inaccurate:
sparkleupdater_mac.mm).appimageupdater.cpp).ocupdater.cpp).Also clarifies the Windows flow as a silent download followed by a user-confirmed Restart required prompt.
