Declare @updateURL so Tampermonkey can poll for updates - #4

Conversation
None of the five scripts said where to fetch a newer copy. Tampermonkey falls back to whatever URL a script was installed from, so installing from the raw GitHub link happens to work — but a script pasted into the editor by hand, which the README offers as an alternative, has no update source at all and can never update however far @Version moves. Declaring it explicitly also drops the dependency on the repo rename: installs made before idleon-clicker became idleon-userscripts were updating through a redirect, and now point straight at the current path. The README grows an Updating section, because "it did not update" has three causes that all look identical: the check interval is a day by default, raw GitHub is CDN-cached for about five minutes, and an update only happens when @Version increases.
