Update checker feature idea: pre-release update checks #2091

Any user that runs a pre-release version of Tribler should upgrade to the next one as soon as possible.

It would be nice that Tribler could check for pre-release versions of Tribler if the running instance is a pre-release too.

@whirm we can do this by performing a request to https://api.github.com/repos/tribler/tribler/releases (probably with a limit parameter or something). We need a some in the version check manager to distinguish between a stable and pre-release version.

I will do this after separation of GUI and core.

Sounds good
