fix(launcher): opt-in GitHub auto-update; clarify Gitea for from_release

- Gate electron-updater GitHub provider on launcher_updates_from_github (default false)
  so GITHUB_TOKEN no longer targets the source repo without latest.yml.
- Improve GitHub releases 404 hint when assets are on Gitea.
- Document in README and default-launcher.json.
