Updated the auto-update UI.

Added a settings tab to manage updates.
On this tab you can:
* Init auto update check.
* View update information (version, prerelease vs release, etc).
* View update changelog.
* Install updates (when downloaded).
The green glow on the landing page now takes users to the settings tab. Updates can be installed from there.
This UI can be changed in the future if needed.
