Subject: [PATCH] perf: set panic=abort and drop backtrace features (#342)

Reduces binary size of the updater staticlib when linked into the
Flutter engine. On host macOS arm64 the dylib shrinks from 3.07 MB
to 2.56 MB; the biggest iOS savings come from dropping the DWARF
unwind tables (__eh_frame, __gcc_except_tab, __unwind_info) that
panic=unwind generates.

- panic = "abort" in [profile.release]: kills unwind-table generation
  and eliminates dead panic-unwinding code paths. We don't use
  catch_unwind anywhere in the library. log-panics still runs its
  panic hook before abort, so panic messages continue to surface to
  logcat/oslog during development.
- Drop `backtrace` feature from anyhow and `with-backtrace` from
  log-panics: removes gimli + addr2line + rustc_demangle (~65 KB of
  symbolication machinery) that customers can't read anyway. A
  future in-engine crash reporter will symbolize native stacks,
  making these features redundant.
