Summary

Add GET /{owner}/{repo}/updates.xml that dynamically generates a Joomla-compatible update XML feed from repository releases.

What it does

Maps release tags to channels (stable/rc/beta/alpha/dev) based on tag naming
Finds .zip attachments for download URLs, falls back to source archive
Emits one entry per channel (latest release wins)
Publicly accessible for Joomla update clients (no auth required)
XML format matches the existing updates.xml structure used by the workflows

Phase 1 of #239

Future phases:

Phase 2: Dolibarr JSON endpoint + repo settings UI
Phase 3: License keys with org-level scope and stream binding
Phase 4: Key validation middleware on update/download endpoints
Phase 5: Auto-detect updates.xml, stop manual workflow commits

Test plan

Visit /{owner}/{repo}/updates.xml on a repo with releases
Verify XML structure matches Joomla update format
Verify channels are correctly mapped from tag names
Verify download URLs point to release attachments

Add GET /{owner}/{repo}/updates.xml that dynamically generates a
Joomla-compatible updates.xml from the repository's releases.

Features:
- Automatically maps release tags to channels (stable/rc/beta/alpha/dev)
- Finds .zip attachments for download URLs, falls back to archive URL
- Emits one entry per channel (latest release wins)
- Extracts version from tag names, strips common prefixes
- Publicly accessible (no auth required) for Joomla update clients

This is Phase 1 of #239 — the core dynamic update feed generation.
Future phases will add license key gating, Dolibarr support, and
repo settings UI.
