How updates work

1. AWDev Plugins Updater hooks into pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins
2. It fetches version metadata from AWDev Plugins Updater API
3. If a newer version is available it injects an update object into the WordPress transient
4. WordPress handles the download, extraction, and installation natively
5. upgrader_source_selection fixes the folder name after extraction if needed
