Previously, automatic checks could fail quietly and return to idle. This
change ensures missing dependency errors are surfaced in the update UI
with install guidance.
What Changed:
- Added a dedicated `MissingDependencyError` for dependency-related
update failures.
- Updated auto-update polling behavior so:
- automatic checks still stay quiet for transient/general errors,
- but missing dependency errors are surfaced as
`AutoUpdateStatus::Errored`.
- Improved Linux dependency hinting:
- distro checks with `/etc/os-release`,
- returns distro-appropriate install hints where possible and falls back
to a generic package-manager message when distro parsing is
unavailable/unknown.

Closes#47552
- [x] Done a self-review taking into account security and performance
aspects
Release Notes:
- Improved Linux auto-update failure issue caused by missing `rsync` by
surfacing actionable install guidance in the update UI.
