ncdu: 2.9.2 -> 2.10.0, update source

[tree-sapii]

Things done

Per the discussion here, @BratishkaErik maintains a fork of the package at https://github.com/BratishkaErik/ncdu, so its better to just move the source as the original website could be going down as described in #536471 .

Pull request overview

This PR updates the ncdu package to a newer upstream release and switches the source to the maintained GitHub fork, motivated by concerns that the original upstream hosting may become unavailable.

Changes:

• Bump ncdu from 2.9.2 to 2.10.0 and switch src/metadata URLs to github.com/BratishkaErik/ncdu.
• Update the Zig-based build to use zig_0_16 and introduce dependency fetching via zig.fetchDeps.
• Replace the bespoke updater script with nix-update-script, and update the 1.x derivation to fetch from GitHub (adding autoreconfHook).

Note: earlier I found out that suggestion above doesn't. Please try it tho.

Not qualified enough to review the zig changes, sadly.

Also it's strange that there is no "has-package-update" label on the pr.

[tree-sapii]

Hmm it seems the nixd fetchFromGitHub autocomplete still uses rev instead of tag and I didn't notice haha.
