MeshCentral: update the npm package, not just the OS

update_script ran apt upgrade and reported success while MeshCentral stayed on the version it was installed with, so 1.1.x installs never got 1.3.1, which fixes an actively exploited flaw. Compare the installed package with npm and install the newer one. Fixes #18205
