widevine-update no longer installs #3

Due to the method of testing in the $VER//filesystem/mrfixit_update.sh script, widevine-update does not install in any system past version 1.2 of the script.

Instead of being tied to the running version, the update script should check for the existence of /usr/bin/update_widevine.sh and install if not present. Same for the desktop shortcut.

Thanks for the note! The reasoning behind the current programming is because not all users want this link on their desktop. If a user updates from a version prior to the desktop shortcut's initial implementation (version 1.2), for example from version 1.1, then this desktop shortcut is added. If you already have a running version of 1.2 or higher then your release had this shortcut "out of the box". If you have removed the shortcut then I don't want the update script to re-add it. That would be very annoying for end-users to always have the same desktop shortcut being re-added after they purposely removed it.

Hope that makes sense! But this is by-design.
