Add option to download latest in the background and launch the current version #38

Description

@madhephaestus

Currently the updater has 2 options:

  1. Download an update, the user has to wait for the download to complete before the application can be used. In my case this sometimes can take quite a while.

  2. Don't update, in this case the user can use the application immediately, but the update is not downloaded.
    Perhaps this second option can be expanded so the updater stays active in the background and the update gets downloaded, BUT not activated. Perhaps a checkbox can be used to select which behavior the user wants. Then the next time the updater is started the user is informed that a newer version is ready for launch and the user can decide if they want to start using it.

A third option would be needed to both download and also launch the previous version.
