fix(updater): check for updates on every Outlook startup, not every 7 days

Browse Source 
Why v1.2.7→v1.2.8 didn't auto-install on Outlook restart: the manifest
was published with <UpdateInterval>7</UpdateInterval> + units=days, which
tells the VSTO runtime "don't even check the manifest URL more often
than once a week." MinimumRequiredVersion (set by CI to the same tag
version) would have forced the install — but only AFTER the check runs,
and the check was throttled to weekly.

Replace UpdateInterval/UpdateIntervalUnits with UpdatePeriodically=false.
This omits the <expiration> element from the deployment manifest, which
ClickOnce/VSTO interprets as "check before every host start." The extra
HTTP GET on the .vsto manifest at Outlook launch is ~6KB, ~100ms — a
non-issue for startup time, vs. the previous behavior where new
releases sat unused on platform.dev for up to a week per user.

From v1.2.9 onward, tag → CI publishes → next Outlook launch on each
lawyer's PC installs it. This is what we wanted the auto-update chain
to look like all along.
