Description

Currently, rocks are installed once and never updated. We ought to add a check for rock updates to the existing update logic.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the existing update logic in packer.nvim and understand how rocks are currently installed. Then add a check for rock updates within that logic, similar to how plugins are updated.
