Adds a /update command to Telegram, Discord, and other gateway platforms that runs `hermes update` to pull the latest code, update dependencies, sync skills, and restart the gateway. Implementation: - Spawns `hermes update` in a separate systemd scope (systemd-run --user --scope) so the process survives the gateway restart that hermes update triggers at the end. Falls back to nohup if systemd-run is unavailable. - Writes a marker file (.update_pending.json) with the originating platform and chat_id before spawning the update. - On gateway startup, _send_update_notification() checks for the marker, reads the captured update output, sends the results back to the user, and cleans up. Also: - Registers /update as a Discord slash command - Updates README.md, docs/messaging.md, docs/slash-commands.md - Adds 18 tests covering handler, notification, and edge cases
