fix: updates_xml_build uses pkg_ prefix in element tag for packages

Joomla stores packages as pkg_elementname in #__extensions. The element tag in updates.xml must match for the updater to find the extension. The ZIP filename uses the same prefix (already correct), but the XML element tag was using the stripped name.
