Document auto_update_extensions setting (#58954)

Originally added in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46130 but
accidentally dropped in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/45276. Bring it back, as
we’ve actually had users ask about this previously and
[recently](https://zed-industries.slack.com/archives/C0AJ37231HS/p1779466189363979),
as well.

## Auto Update extensions
- Description: Disable auto-updates for specific extensions.
- Setting: `auto_update_extensions`
- Default: `{}`
**Options**
By default, every installed extension is auto-updated when Zed starts.
Add an extension here with `false` to pin it to its currently installed version.
```json [settings]
{
"auto_update_extensions": {
"html": false
}
}
```
Selecting **Install Another Version…** from an extension's `⋯` menu on the Extensions
page ({#action zed::Extensions}) does this automatically.
## Autosave
- Description: When to automatically save edited buffers.
