This PR adds auto-update functionality for Windows and macOS through the use of the Sparkle (macOS) and WinSparkle (Windows). By adding this functionality, this ensures that FreeDV users more easily remain up to date.
Example UI (Windows):
(second time running freedv.exe)
(when an update is available)
Example UI (macOS):
(second time running FreeDV.app)
(when an update is available)
Example appcast XML file (which is what gets checked when determining whether a new version is available): https://k6aq.net/freedv-update/appcast.xml
Remaining TODO items:
Implement macOS supportand Sparkle-optimized release notes pages(EDIT: release notes can be embedded in the appcast.xml instead)
