Introduce `self-update` command like Composer does
See https://github.com/jolicode/castor/issues/537, why do we have to copy installer scripts and run it. Feels unsafe and annoying on day to day.
Can we introduce a self-update command so that we can use castor self-update like Composer does?
I'm generally against it, but I'm changing my mind.
I was against it because it's difficult (many projects have abandoned this feature).
But Composer is capable of doing it, so I'm all for giving it a try.
Brainstorming:
How about if castor --version returned the version that was running and a notification about the current version, along with instructions about how to install it?
castor --version
castor v1.0.0
castor v1.0.2 is available, install it by running
curl "https://castor.jolicode.com/install" | bash
Hmm, I see that this is in fact how it will work. I hadn't see it because I'm still on version 1, but may I will when the next release is out.

Good idea. Would you mind to submit a PR? Thanks
Sure. Can you point me to what file? I'll look at it after SymfonyCon. Are you attending the conference?

We will take care of it. Thanks

No-one from JoliCode will attend the SF Con this year 🥺
We are hijacking the initial conversation here. Let's discuss off topics somewhere else. :)
