Feature request #84: REQUEST: Self-update capability

Kind feature request

Description

From a user email: "it is a very fine program you have and I love the frequent new features, but you should maybe consider an auto-update feature in v 1.7 that would automatically upgrade itself ?"

Synergy Classic already sports an automatic version checking feature:

But this is a good feature suggestion (something optional) for those who don't want to go through the download-then-install cycle. These users could update by simply clicking a button. Synergy Advance would perform the download, move the old copy to the trash, install the new copy, launch the new copy, quit the old copy, asking for an administrator password if necessary.
