📄 Description

Add auto-update system based on Sparkle.

This PR is WIP do not merge yet

Using the Sparkle Framework we can have an auto-update system as well as multiple features like incremental updates, periodical check for updated version and more.

Adding a "Check for updates…" item in the app menu will enable user to check manually for updates.

The goal of this PR is to be able to handle publishing a new release to GitHub using a script (publish_release.sh) that would generate all required files for the update (updates.xml, MonitorContorl.dmg, so on).

Here's a list of things left to do :

Add Sparkle Framework
Add "Check for updates…" button
Script to generate and publish release [in progress]
- Check if git tag already exist for release
- Generate appcast item and add it to updates.xml
- Create Github Release and upload dmg file
Handle Changelog
Setup Github Pages
