Check for updates on a separate thread #28

Otherwise, if there are networking issues such as those reported at:

https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=IMAGEJ;6e3613ac.1406

Then it is impossible to use ImageJ until the update check is complete, which might take 60 seconds or more for the network request to time out.

I like this solution, but find the fact that we now have two update check commands a bit confusing. I think calling my new one CheckForUpdates ("Up-to-date check") makes sense. It does say "Running command: Up-to-date check" in the status bar now when it does it, which I like.

The other UpdatesAvailable command is labeled "There are updates available" which is also correct I suppose, since it is only run when updates are available.

So: satisfied with names? If so, feel free to merge.
