Companion to the versioning and plugin contract work on the panel.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Documented plugin API version compatibility, including version 1 defaults, warnings for missing values, and handling of unsupported newer versions.
    • Clarified plugin panel-version constraint behavior and established compatibility and deprecation policies.
    • Added Docker update instructions covering image pulls, container startup, and automatic database migrations.
    • Added checksum verification steps for manual updates, including download validation before extraction.

Adds the api_version field and compatibility policy to the plugins page,
updates the panel_version caret to its new composer range semantics, and adds
a Docker tab plus checksum verification steps to the panel update guide.

- Line 102: Remove the api_version documentation and its related compatibility
claims from the plugin documentation until the panel implements and enforces
this field; leave existing panel_version documentation unchanged.

In `@docs/panel/update.mdx`:
- Around line 65-66: Update the download commands in the panel update procedure
to run with sufficient privileges for writing to /var/www/pelican, and apply the
same privilege escalation to any subsequent removal of those downloaded files
before checksum verification.

The manual update runs inside /var/www/pelican, which is owned by www-data, so
the curl downloads and the final rm need the same privileges the tar step
already uses. Also pass -f so a failed download does not leave an HTML error
page behind as panel.tar.gz.
