Add boot environment based major version upgrade support
Implement full BE-based upgrade flow for major versionupgrades (ABI changes). The new BE is created, mounted, bootstrapped with pkg, then base and software packages are fetched and installed inside it before activating for next boot. Failed upgrades destroy the BE and leave the running system intact.
- Add backend functions: create_be, mount_be, bootstrap_pkg_in_be, fetch/upgrade_base/software_packages_in_be, umount/activate/ cleanup_failed_upgrade_be, get_current_version, get_version, fetch_base_packagelist, get_default_base_repo_url, cleanup_old_backups
- Add be_name and be_mount_path to Data for shared upgrade state
- Refactor InstallUpdate: split process_output into process_popen + process_output, rename read_output to process_upgrade, add major upgrade step methods
- Remove distro dependency, add explicit gi.require_version() calls
- Add .pylintrc configuration

Prevent duplicate instances and add IPC for check-now command
Add error handling for server requests and improve UI localization
- Backend: Add try-except handling with timeouts for server request failures (`requests.get`), preventing UI blocking during unreachable servers.
- Frontend: Localize UI strings with `_()` for better internationalization support.
- UI: Refactor dialog buttons to invoke corresponding "Yes" and "No" click handlers, improving code clarity and maintainability.
Prevent duplicate instances and add IPC for check-now command
- Use setproctitle and psutil to detect existing update-station processes
- Send SIGUSR1 to running instance when 'check-now' is invoked, triggering update check in existing GTK loop
- Consolidate notification.py into frontend.py to reduce module count
- Simplify boolean returns in backend.py
- Exit with error if tray mode started while instance is already running
This prevents multiple update-station processes from running simultaneously
and allows the check-now command to communicate with the existing tray
instance instead of spawning a separate GUI process.

Refactor InstallUpdate.read_output() and consolidate dialog windows
Refactor InstallUpdate.read_output() and consolidate dialog windows
This commit simplifies the package update installation process and standardizes window close behavior across the application.
Frontend refactoring (frontend.py):
- Moved subprocess creation from frontend to backend via command_output()
- Extracted read_output() into focused helper methods:
* process_output() - runs commands and reads stdout line-by-line
* log_failure() - writes error details to update.failed file
* needs_reboot() - checks if installed packages require reboot
* is_pkg_only_update() - detects pkg-only updates
* install_packages() - handles install with retry logic for temp file failures
* fetch_packages() - downloads package updates
* bootstrap_major_upgrade() - bootstraps pkg for major version upgrades
* prepare_backup() - creates ZFS boot environment backups
- Improved returncode==3 retry logic: delete failed packages, collect for
reinstall after upgrade completes (max 5 retries)
- Fixed race condition: replaced `if proc.poll() is not None` with
`if not line: break` for EOF detection, then proc.wait()

Remove some unused variable
Simplify the update-station backend
Now that pkg has a better support for upgrading packages with base. I have cleanup the code that was forcing reinstall, replace pkg-static by pkg. this should take care of the loop issue.
Also took time to clean some deprecated GTK code.
