Signal notifications when software updates

[sabjorn]

Currently, users won't know if there is a new version of the extension. A notification for new versions would be ideal.

Might be possible to implement with: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/notifications

actually, should be possible with background pages.

update: since there is now a background script AND that script actually checks for update/install (in order to migrate the old storage mechanism), it would be easy to implement this.

Alternatively, the backround page that loads when you click on the plugin icon would also work.

no longer sure why this would be valuable
