Description

Currently, a user is only notified of a new Sunshine version if they open the web-ui. This can be improved.

• Check for updates on an interval, and:
  • Display a system tray notification
  • Run a custom command (similar to a prep command), where the user could do whatever they want... such as send a discord webhook, email, etc.
• Allow manually checking for updates from the system tray (https://github.com/orgs/LizardByte/discussions/674)

If a system tray notification, we need to have a mechanism to not send the same notification more than once (per session).
