Description

When enabling testing channels from settings via

image

we should also just auto-switch to the release-candidate channel the same way we switch back to stable when release candidate channels are disabled.

Of course, while testing channels are enabled, the user can still freely switch between stable and release-candidates.

Research direction

Start from the settings flow that enables testing channels and compare it with the existing behavior for disabling release-candidate channels. Trace how the selected update channel is changed; done means enabling testing channels selects release-candidate automatically while still allowing manual switching between stable and release-candidate.
