For installations using the binary release method (using the official installer script), it would be nice to be able to define a specific version to install.
A user/developer can choose to define the NETBIRD_RELEASE variable during installation, to pin a specific version during installation.
If NETBIRD_RELEASE is not defined, we default to the current behavior of latest
Resolve the problem with the update script that prevents netbird-ui from updating during binary installation.
Introduce the variable UPDATE_NETBIRD. Now we can upgrade the binary installation with
A function stop_running_netbird_ui has been added which checks if NetBird UI is currently running. If so, it stops the UI to allow the application update process to proceed smoothly. This was necessary to prevent conflicts or errors during updates if the UI was running.

This commit modifies the install.sh script to improve compatibility with systems lacking the sudo command. A conditional check is added at the beginning of the script to see if the sudo command exists. If it does, operations in the script that previously required sudo would proceed as normal, using the sudo command. If the system does not have sudo, the shell would execute these operations without it. This change enhances the usability of this script in restricted environments where sudo is not installed or available to users.
This pull request addresses the need to enhance the installer script by introducing a new parameter --update to trigger updates. The goal is to streamline the update process for binary installations and provide a better experience for users.
