Subject: [PATCH] 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.
