[CLOSED] Handle 'platforms' from new updates.json entry

Issue by swmitra Friday Oct 26, 2018 at 04:11 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets.io/pull/222

Handle platform entries from updates.json. This PR adds capability to identify OS specific releases and offer download accordingly. In new update entry format, every platform node provides a dedicated downloadURL. This PR makes use of that downloadURL when present instead of generating the installer asset URI.

This is how the new Update entries look like -
