Feature: Download via window (settings)

[Jay-o-Way]

Go to settings. Check for updates (manually)

If there's an update available, a notification with a message pops up. There is no button in the actual settings window. This is not the best user experience. Notifications should normally - only - be used when there is no window available. There should be a [Download/Install/Update] button in the settings, or a message box.

@Spiritreader What's the best word to use? (string should match action) And do you think a button in the settings page is better, or a message box? A message box depends on the setting for silent install?

Downloads are handled entirely via the backend. An update with progress reporting via the frontend would require a pollable api endpoint that reports download progress.

Not something I would target for the initial 11 release.
