Better UX for applications update #720

Related to #719, #677, #658.

Currently the update process is still not perfect. A few key points to improve:

feedback during the process, what is being done, what have been done, what is left to be done
no interruption on error (except for the stack), see #719
better error messages
better "waiting" messages overall

Adding feedback may also allow to not display an error message if update takes longer than expected. User sometime get a “Update has failed” message because the update is just taking longer than expected.

As a quick fix, maybe what could be done is to set a static "Cozycloud is upgrading" Page, with possibly something saying if it takes to long (more than 10 minutes for example) to contact support. When I was updating, I tried to visit a different page which loaded partially broken and then got a 503 error. This would avoid the user seeing this and thinking their instance is broken when it's only updating.
