These should fix this situation persisting across rebuilds

**Previously**, there was no way to clear the Redis flags that drive the web upg…rade UI state, so a failed web update followed by a manual `./launcher rebuild app` could leave the admin interface stuck on "Updating...". **In this update**, adds a rake task that clears `upgrade:*` keys and the `docker_manager:upgrade:server_restarting` flag across all sites. Intended to be invoked from `discourse_docker`'s `web.template.yml` so the UI state is reset after a full container rebuild.

FIX: Clear stuck web upgrade flags after a full rebuild (#1050)

main ← clear-stuck-upgrades-on-rebuild

**Previously**, a failed web update via the `docker_manager` plugin left Redis f…lags set that kept the admin UI showing "Updating..." even after the user recovered with `./launcher rebuild app`. **In this update**, `web.template.yml` invokes `docker_manager:stop_all_upgrades` right after `db_migrate` to clear those flags. Guarded by a file-existence check on the rake task and `raise_on_fail: false` so instances without `docker_manager`, or with an older plugin version that predates the task, are unaffected. Paired with https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager/pull/319.
