The update endpoint ran the entire git pull + docker build (up to 10 min)
synchronously inside the request handler, blocking the whole server for
everyone while it ran. Separately, the frontend spinner was only hidden on
error, never on success, so it spun forever even when the update worked.
- Run the update in a background thread; the request returns immediately
- Add GET /settings/update/status for progress polling (backup/pull/build/restart)
- Frontend polls status, then waits for the app to come back after the
container restart, and shows a clear done/timeout message instead of an
endless spinner
