Subject: [PATCH] Improve Tdarr installer error handling

Refine post-update validation and failure behavior in tdarr-install.sh: remove a redundant status message, simplify the updater check to only require the Tdarr_Server binary, and replace the previous fatal path with msg_error plus an explicit exit 250. This makes failures (for example when tdarr.io is blocked by local DNS) clearer and avoids false negatives from the Tdarr_Node existence check.
