fix(updates): notify before installing downloaded updates (#5105)

* fix(windows update): prevent sudden restart

Microsoft has documented that the `NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers` registry
key is unreliable and does not work as described in newer versions of Windows.

To effectively prevent unexpected restarts in modern configurations,
this PR updates the `Recommended` settings workflow on the `Updates` tab.

Changes
- Modify `AUOptions` to 3: automatic download and manual installation.
- Remove the obsolete registry key.
- Keep the removal of the registry key in functions that reset Windows Update to default.
- Update UI text and documentation.
- Update Pester tests.

Microsoft documentation:

Resolves #5093

* Clarify update installation notification behavior
