Zoltan Papp 9b4a5df925 [client] Use platform installer URL for manual update downloads (#6922)
The Wails UI regressed the non-enforced update download to the plain
GitHub releases page. Restore the old Fyne behavior: the tray update
item and the About card's Get installer button now open
version.DownloadUrl(), which points to the direct installer download
(pkgs.netbird.io) per OS/arch and falls back to the generic install page
where no installer exists.

Also fix the dead brew detection on darwin: exec.Command passed the
whole pipeline as a single argument to brew, so the check always failed.
Query the netbird formula and netbird-ui cask explicitly via exit codes
instead.
