Implement Windows autostart fix and self-update feature

[samueltuyizere]

• Added a new documentation file for the Windows autostart fix specification.
• Enhanced the autostart functionality to handle WindowsApps aliases and improve command-line argument formatting.
• Updated the autostart status command to check if the server process is running and log any startup errors.
• Introduced unit tests for Windows-specific command-line building and path extraction.
• Implemented a self-update command that allows users to check for and apply updates directly from the command line.
• Added error handling and logging improvements during the background process startup.
• Created a new updater package to manage downloading and verifying updates from GitHub.
• Added tests for the updater functionality, including version comparison and checksum verification.

Code Review Roast 🔥

Verdict: 0 Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

🏆 Best part: The User-Agent header now speaks proper HTTP etiquette — routatic-proxy/<version> format, just like it's supposed to. Took the feedback and ran with it.

💀 Worst part: Nothing to roast here. Both issues were fixed cleanly. The Windows backup deletion moved from ping to timeout, and the User-Agent now includes version.

📊 Overall: Like a code review where someone actually listened. The Updater package now has proper User-Agent headers and won't leave fossilized .old files when ICMP is blocked.

File	Line	Roast
internal/updater/updater.go	66	User-Agent header missing version; GitHub API calls should include routatic-proxy/<version> per spec
internal/updater/replace_windows.go	20	Windows backup deletion uses ping hack; fragile and could leave .old files forever on errors

🏆 Best part: The WindowsApps alias detection in registryBinaryRef() is elegantly simple — case-insensitive path matching that just works.

💀 Worst part: The scheduleDeleteWindows function uses a ping hack for delayed deletion. This is the software equivalent of using a rubber band to fix a broken timing belt — it might work, but when it fails you've got a bigger problem.

📊 Overall: Like finding a Tesla with a cassette adapter — the core innovation is solid but some implementation details feel like they're from a different decade.
