Paddy 1bed723363 Add in-app self-update via git (Hilfe menu)
New Updater class + "Hilfe" menubar:
- "Nach Update suchen": git fetch + count of new upstream commits.
- Quiet background check on start; surfaces via status bar + menu label.
- Install: git merge --ff-only, pip install if requirements.txt changed,
  then restart via os.execv. data/ is git-ignored and untouched.
- Fast-forward only; diverged history or offline -> clear message, no action.
- Inert unless run from a git clone with git on PATH.

Also: "Version…" menu item shows the installed commit.

Verified against throwaway git repos (check / ff-update / diverged / no-op /
non-clone) and via GUI build on Python 3.14 / Tk 9.

# DRK Blutspende Arbeitsorte: Dokumentation
Developer/maintainer documentation for the **Arbeitsorte-Logger**, a small
desktop app that records blood-drive work assignments (date + city + postal
code) and plots them on an interactive map.
> Context: built as a personal tool for a single user, running locally on a
> **Linux Mint laptop**. Ease of use for a non-technical user is the primary
> design constraint. There is no server, no multi-user story, and no network
> dependency beyond geocoding and the map tiles.
