Disable forced PyTorch upgrades
Disables automatic PyTorch version upgrades that were forcing all NVIDIA
users to download 1.5GB packages without consent.
## What Changed
- Commented out `ensureRecommendedNvidiaTorch()` call in updatePackages()
- Users will no longer be forced to upgrade PyTorch on app startup
## Why
The automatic upgrade introduced in PR #1513 caused several issues:
- Forced 1.5GB downloads without user warning or consent
- Caused installation failures for users with slow/metered connections
- Blocked Chinese users when packages weren't available on mirrors
- No opt-out mechanism
## User Impact
- NVIDIA users will keep their current PyTorch versions
- No more forced package reinstalls on app startup
- Users can manually upgrade PyTorch if they want new features
## Next Steps
A follow-up PR will add optional user-prompted PyTorch upgrades with
proper consent dialogs and preference tracking.
