fix: address shellcheck warnings and improve script robustness

This commit addresses issues flagged by shellcheck and enhances the robustness of the `cloudflare-ufw-updater.sh` script:

- Fixed SC2155 by separating variable declaration and assignment for `ufw_version` to prevent masking return values.
- Suppressed SC1091 by adding an explicit shellcheck directive for sourcing the configuration file.
- Improved comments for clarity and documentation.
- Enhanced error handling and dependency checks to ensure script reliability.
- Maintained compatibility with shellcheck by adding the `-x` flag for testing sourced files.
