Pi extension: startup update notifier + interactive changelog reviewer for outdated pi packages.

Startup notice — compares every installed pi package against the registry's latest dist-tag and shows a one-line notice when updates exist.
/updates [pkg] — full-screen pager with release notes per outdated package:
- ↑↓ scroll line-by-line, space/b page, g/G jump to top/bottom
- ←→ switch between packages
- u upgrade the current package in-place
- q / Escape close
GitHub compare link — links to the full diff on GitHub when a repo is detected (tag format auto-detected from releases).
Pin-aware — reads the real installed version from node_modules, so pinned sources (npm:pkg@x.y.z) still surface newer releases.
