feat: add config opt-out, TTY check, and config-first update flow

- Add auto_update_check config field (defaults to true)
- Load config before update check, skip if auto_update_check is false
- Add TTY check before interactive prompt (skip in non-TTY environments)
- Update config.example.yaml with new option documentation
