[rush] Write last-install.flag after update-autoinstaller completes

[Copilot]

Summary

Fixes #5464

rush update-autoinstaller performs installation but does not write the last-install.flag file, causing subsequent rush install-autoinstaller to redundantly reinstall.

Details

Added _createFlagsAsync() method to Autoinstaller.ts that writes both:

• .rush/temp/last-install.flag - tracks install state (node version, package manager, package.json contents)
• node_modules/rush-autoinstaller.flag - marker file for node_modules validity

Called at the end of updateAsync() after successful installation, matching the behavior of prepareAsync().

How it was tested

• Built rush-lib and verified compilation
• Ran full test suite (528 tests pass)

Original prompt

<agent_instructions>Running rush update-autoinstaller performs installation, so the last-install flag should be written when it completes, same as if the autoinstaller is automatically installed, or if the user runs rush install-autoinstaller.</agent_instructions>
