Fix: Version downgrade prevention - validate cache and add running version checks

## Changes
- **CheckForUpdatesJob**: Add triple version comparison (CDN vs cache vs running)
  - Never allows version downgrade from currently running version
  - Uses data_set() for safer nested array mutation
  - Prevents incorrect new_version_available flag setting

- **UpdateCoolify**: Add cache validation before fallback
  - Validates cache against running version on CDN failure
  - Throws exception if cache is corrupted/older than running
  - Applies to both manual and automated updates

- **Tests**: Add comprehensive test coverage
  - tests/Unit/CheckForUpdatesJobTest.php (5 tests)
  - tests/Unit/UpdateCoolifyTest.php (3 tests)

## Impact
- Prevents all downgrade scenarios (CDN rollback, corrupted cache, etc.)
- Maintains backward compatibility
- Provides clear logging for debugging
