Adds an option in the webinterface to enable and disable the auto-updater feature:

Reasons, why people / administrators want to disable the automatic update and do it rather manually instead:

  • People don't want, that third-party tools call home on a regular basis
  • Allows testings of newer versions in a test environment
  • I personally usually always wait 1-2 weeks after the release with the upgrade in order to see, if other people open any bug reports or report issues
  • Ability to plan and announce a maintenance for the update incl. database and file backups etc.
  • Ability to update the application using Git to a specific tag (instead of simply overwriting all files with a ZIP file)
  • Ability to immediately fix issues, if the update should fail (this is not possible, if the auto-update does this when I'm sleeping or on vacation)
