feat(gui,core): opt-in check for new releases

Preferences gets a switch that asks GitHub once a day for the latest
release and shows a banner over the sidebar when it is newer. Off by
default. Packages whose package manager brings updates install the
marker share/proton-drive-linux/managed-updates, which hides the switch.
