blinkagent[bot] 1375fd9ead docs: add administrator configuration for disabling Coder Desktop auto-updates (#21641)
## Summary

Adds documentation for the "disable automatic updates" feature in Coder
Desktop.

This adds a new "Administrator Configuration" section to the Coder
Desktop docs that documents:

- **macOS**: Setting the `disableUpdater` UserDefaults key via MDM or
`defaults` command
- **Windows**: Setting the `Updater:Enable` registry value in
`HKLM\SOFTWARE\Coder Desktop\App`

The feature already exists in both platforms but was not documented in
the user-facing docs.

## Changes

- Added new "Administrator Configuration" section before
"Troubleshooting"
- Documented macOS MDM configuration for disabling updates
- Documented Windows registry configuration for disabling updates
- Mentioned the `ForcedChannel` option for locking update channels
