Replace the info-prefixed update messages with cleaner output: progress bar during download (TTY only), "Already using the latest version" for no-ops, and a changelog URL after successful updates. Pass --silent for background auto-update subprocess.

Pull request overview
This PR improves the user experience of the self-update functionality by replacing info-prefixed messages with cleaner output. When users run --update, they now see a progress bar during downloads (on TTY terminals), clearer status messages, and a direct changelog link after successful updates. Background auto-update processes now run silently with the --silent flag.
Changes:
- Added progress bar and spinner indicators for download visualization
- Enhanced update messages with bold formatting and changelog URLs
- Modified background auto-update to run silently
