Adding the ability for the plugin to check for version updates directly from the public GitHub Repo.
How this should work
After a new release is published:
When visiting the plugins page, the new release should show up as an available update
If autoupdates are turned on for this plugin, the plugin should autoupdate to the new release on the same schedule as all other plugin autoupdates (checks every 12 hours)
Notes
This only works if the plugin is loaded as feedland-blogroll/feedland-blogroll.php. If the plugin folder is named something different, like feedland-blogroll(1), then this update feature will not work.
This feature looks at the latest release version number, so proper releases and semVer should be used when new updates need to go out.
