release: 3.2.0 → 3.3.0 — self-hosted update checker (Gitea API)

WP Logbook is hosted on the author's own Gitea instance
(git.davidtkeane.com), not on WordPress.org, so WP's built-in update
flow doesn't see new releases. This release adds a Settings →
Updates panel that polls Gitea's Releases API and reports whether
a newer version is available.

CHANGES
- inc/wp-notes-updater.php: full rewrite of the previous broken stub
  (it had a hard require on a non-existent vendor path and was never
  included from the main plugin file anyway).
- wp_notes_fetch_latest_release() hits
  /api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/releases/latest, parses, normalises.
  Prefers a .zip asset attached to the release; falls back to
  Gitea's source-archive zip URL.
- wp_notes_update_status() compares against WP_NOTES_VERSION and
  returns 'available' | 'up-to-date' | 'unknown' (the last when no
  release has been tagged yet — graceful first-run UX since the
  repo currently has zero tags).
- New AJAX endpoint wp_notes_check_updates, capability-gated
  (manage_options) + nonce-protected. Force-refreshes the cache.
- Settings page now renders the Updates panel via
  wp_notes_render_updates_panel() — current status text, "Check
  now" button, View on Gitea / View all releases quick links,
  manual-install instructions, and a Download .zip button + View
  release notes link when an update is detected.
- wp-notes.php require_once chain now includes the updater file.

CACHING
- Successful fetches: 12h site transient.
- Negative responses (404 = no releases yet): 1h so a freshly-
  tagged release shows up quickly.

INSTALLATION FLOW (intentionally manual)
The panel does NOT auto-install. Manual path printed in the panel:
download .zip → deactivate → upload via Plugins → Add New → Upload
→ reactivate. Notes live in wp_options so they survive the upgrade.

ALSO IN 3.3.0
- Section heading rename carried from the previous unreleased
  block: "Add New Note" → "New Log Entry"; "Notes Todo List:" →
  "Log entries". Row-level "note" labels intentionally unchanged.

VERSION BUMP
- wp-notes.php header 3.2.0 → 3.3.0
- WP_NOTES_VERSION constant 3.2.0 → 3.3.0
- About page version history leads with v3.3.0 as latest, demotes
  v3.2.0 to previous entry

NOTES FOR FUTURE-CLAUDE
- Gitea repo currently has ZERO release tags. First run will show
  "No releases tagged on the Gitea repo yet." Tag v3.2.0 / v3.3.0
  on Gitea and the checker will start reporting versions.
- Repo coordinates live in three constants at the top of
  inc/wp-notes-updater.php (WP_NOTES_GITEA_HOST, _OWNER, _REPO).
  Override via define() in wp-config.php if the repo ever moves.
