Graphical updates system using AppImage's update mechanism.

Detect apps running in a specified directory and check for updates automatically.

Also allow AppImage's from sources other than Eloquent Store to be updated (i.e. the AppImages hosted on Bintray).

Implement webtorrent for delta updates.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlymaRpTSqk&t=9s - in the meantime, it should work with the AppImageUpdate GUI. AppImageUpdate AppImage is available from by Bintray repo.

I am currently thinking about how to do an appimaged daemon properly. Might start experiments soon. Current thoughts: Write it in C, using inotify, fusesquash but no FUSE, AppImageUpdate or pure zsync_curl. Handle desktop integration properly, even for multiple versions of the same app, and including proper "uninstallation".
