Release v3.2: update sound cue + single-instance bring-to-front fix

Browse Source 
- New "Update sound" cue (CueId.Update / update.wav). Plays just before an
  update starts installing, on every path (manual, background-silent,
  startup-silent), so a silent background update gives an audible heads-up
  before RemSound closes to restart. Per-profile mute + custom-sound override
  in Preferences, same infrastructure as the other cues:
    * Profile.EnableUpdateCue + RemSoundSettingsStore Load/Save + round-trip
    * MainForm updateSound field, TryLoadCueSound, play in InstallUpdateAsync
      gated by LoadEnableUpdateCue
    * PreferencesDialog "Update sound" CueRow + ResolveCueFilePath mapping
    * update.wav shipped in sounds\ via csproj Content
- Single-instance "switch to the running copy" now actually brings the window
  to the front. The second copy grants the running copy foreground rights via
  AllowSetForegroundWindow before signalling, and lingers briefly so it can
  raise itself before we exit — without this, Windows' foreground lock left
  the running window only flashing in the taskbar (Ed's report).
- Docs: About box v3.2 block, RELEASE_NOTES.md, manual cue section (now seven
  cues, with the update cue described), MANUAL.md regenerated.
- Version bumped 3.1.3 -> 3.2.0.

**Recording stop sound**| You stop a recording.
**Profile saved sound**| A profile is saved — whether via File → Save or File → Save as.
**Profile switched sound**| A profile finishes loading. Plays at startup if you started with a profile, and after every profile switch — using the new profile's cue, not the old one's.
**Update sound**| An update is about to install — it plays just before RemSound closes to update itself. Handy when updates install silently in the background, so you're not caught off guard when RemSound restarts. Plays whether you ran the update by hand or it installed on its own.
All six cues play through your default Windows sound output, which is separate from the audio RemSound is sending or receiving. They don't appear in a normal recording. (The exception: if your sending side is capturing the very output device the cues play through, then they get captured along with everything else from that device.)

### Start and stop sound cues
RemSound plays a short ding when a recording starts and another when it stops, so you have an audible confirmation that the toggle actually took effect. These are two of the six cues described in Audio cue sounds. You can turn either or both off, replace them with your own WAV files, and preview them from Preferences. The defaults live at `sounds\record start.wav` and `sounds\record stop.wav` next to `RemSound.exe`.
