Add update check to the script

Now that you're actively developing the script, it would be nice if it could check for a new version on startup, and notify us if there is one. That way I don't have to come and check the github page every so often :)

That's a good one, but people might non like that the script "calls home" (GitHub), so I'll make sure it that can be disabled.

You can set up notifications in GitHub to be notified of new releases.

@tehniemer That's a good idea! Didn't think of that. It would be nice to get a notification in discord/email about it, but I can see that this is an easier avenue.

I'll let @auanasgheps decide!

I can easily add the notification in the script via email, will do it. Not everyone uses Github regularly.

Implemented! I think I'm good for now, so we're close for a release!
