fix: stop forcing the in-app update screen on every launch - #168
Merged

Conversation
My Notes started an IMMEDIATE Play in-app update whenever a newer version existed, a full-screen flow users cannot skip. Reviews asked to turn it off. Google Play already updates the app itself, so drop the prompt and the app-update library; the what's-new changelog stays.
No forced update screen on start, and an untouched rich note is no longer kept as an empty note.

What
AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE) that My Notes started on every launch when a newer version existed, and thecom.google.android.play:app-updatedependency.AppUpdateControllerkeeps only the what's-new changelog.Why
The IMMEDIATE flow is a full-screen update users cannot skip. Two Play reviews (1★ on 2026-09-20, and one in May) ask to turn it off. Google Play already updates the app on its own.
