Closes #4.

Adds guides/upgrading.md, a step-by-step safe upgrade procedure for Docker Compose deployments, and links it from the README's Updating section.

Flow

review MIGRATION.md -> backup -> stop -> git pull -> set HULY_VERSION -> docker compose pull -> up -d -> verify -> roll back from the backup if it fails.

Fills the gap between the existing terse "Updating" steps and what operators actually need to upgrade confidently (backup-first, verification, and a rollback path).

Note

The backup/restore steps reference backup.sh / restore.sh from #2 (Compose backup/restore). Best merged after, or alongside, that PR.

Contributed by Exaviz (exaviz.com).

Add guides/upgrading.md: a step-by-step upgrade procedure that includes
reviewing MIGRATION.md, taking a backup, applying the version bump,
verifying, and rolling back from a backup if needed. Link it from the
README's Updating section.

Addresses the recurring upgrade questions upstream in huly-selfhost
