Tell people when a newer release is out (#1100)
At start, and at most once a day, a background thread asks GitHub for the latest stable release (one HTTPS GET to releases/latest, nothing else sent; 15 s timeout; silent when offline; GitHub's rate limit respected). When it is newer than this build, an Update button appears next to Report a bug. It opens a window with the version, the release notes and Download (the asset that fits this installation), Skip this version and Remind me later. - Versions compare as semver; a nightly counts as the release it was built after, so it is offered only a newer stable release. - The installation is detected (AppImage, Flatpak, Snap from the store or a file, deb, rpm, tar.gz, Windows MSI/portable/exe, macOS app); Download picks the fixed-name asset. Development builds and the Flatpak (no network permission) never check. - Preferences > General > Updates: Check for updates automatically (on) and Check now. - HTTP via ureq + rustls with the operating system's certificates (desktop app only). - docs: Updates and privacy page.
