Show a notification to instruct users to download new hosts #109

I noticed the latest version says: "Run a messaging host health check upon start". Will this then tell us the message host needs to up date because TB/plugin have? If so, that's fantastic. I haven't seen it yet, but does it contain a link so we can easily download the latest host? This will make managing updates a bit easier -- until MacOS folks get a homebrew with the extension and host together #35 😉 .

No, but that sounds like a good idea.

I'm not too crazy about this. It's not very straightforward to implement (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190681) and the Releases page's link doesn't change anyway.

Just realised that (some?) HTML can actually be used in notification messages, e.g. browser.notifications.create('', { 'type': 'basic', 'title': 'Hello!', 'message': '<a href="https://example.com">example</a>' }). So yeah, I'll see if I can do that as well.

Edit: This does not work under macOS.

Edit 2: I can probably use onClick though.
