Fix updates.xml + release workflow Python heredoc bug

- Restore updates.xml from broken ${VAR} placeholders to actual values
- Dev/alpha/beta: Gitea-only download URLs (no GitHub)
- RC/stable: both Gitea + GitHub download URLs
- Fix Python heredoc: use os.environ instead of shell var expansion
- Workflow now removes GitHub URLs for non-RC/stable channels
