feat: use Github Release API for updater and changelog #122

Open defvs opened 4 years ago

Fixes #53 Fixes #106

This uses a new (lightweight) library. Dealing with the current JSON parsers was a mess and Klaxon allows easy inline stuff. The new updater doesn't download automatically anymore. It instead opens a browser to the release page for the user to download the update himself. This fixes the issues with the updater not working with installers by... well... removing the updater.

Also, the changelog uses github releases and their body to generate itself.
