Add update checking - Githubissues

BootBlock commented 3 years ago

Add support for a generic endpoint (like in #18) so version information can be fetched from any source (HTTPS, FTP, etc).

Implement core support within Hiroix.Core and Windows-specific extensions to Hiroix.Windows.Forms.

Still work-in-progress, but here's an overview of the implemented interfaces so far - may need renaming now that their functionality is more defined.

IUpdateFetcherServce (default implementation: HttpsUpdateServer) Describes how to get update information from a remote location.
IUpdaterService (default implementation: UpdateCatalogUpdaterService) Describes how to parse and process downloaded update information.
- n/a - (default implementation: n/a) This has been removed as it would require some kind of intermediate format for update information to keep it agnostic. Now, IUpdaterService is responsible for processing downloaded data (eg. converting raw string data to a usable counterpart, such as UpdateCatalog) and then performing the updating directly (eg. running an installer or extracting an archive).
