📄 Description

Some users (like me) prefer to keep their current stable build without unexpected updates, helps maintain setups that rely on specific versions, and prevents unnecessary downloads, disk space and bandwidth.

This PR attempts to fix #6024, allowing the update checker to be disabled via the OLLAMA_NO_UPDATE_CHECKS environment variable. It also partially addresses #6782 by preventing updates on portable or non-standard installations.

Here's an example of a non-standard version I have.
This one is packaged with a Chat UI, so I'd like to keep fixed at a specific version.
