Add alternative URL for program update checking

The alternative URL is hosted on GitHub and users are able to access it:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/23000#issuecomment-3092538814
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/23009#issuecomment-3093201180

Also, disguise the user agent as a normal browser to avoid standing out from the crowd and
avoid whatever issues from CDN. This only applies to non-fosshub URLs.

Closes #23000.
Closes #23009.
