Summary0021877: Install updates automatically
DescriptionCurrently we lead user to our website to download MM and install it manually. It's from the Update notification dialog, Download button.

In order to make it easier and also clearer for the Gold users, which version to download, we should implement automatic installation of new versions. It could work like this:

1. Change [Download] button to [Install].
2. After a click there, start downloading the latest version. Progress and possibly a Toast stating 'Downloading...' or 'Downloading MediaMonkey installer...' could be useful.
3. When the download finishes, start the installer and terminate the running MM instance.
4. The installer would be started as silent, i.e. to reinstall to the same location and would be started with a flag indicating that MM should be started when the installer completes the installation.

EDIT @peke: Please note that Auto install should be executed only within same Major MM versions to avoid user loosing their license eg. if user have 2024 license and latest is 2026 where his 2024 license will not work after update,
TagsNo tags attached.

 Tested 3179 and these changes don't seem to be included:
1) For Free, v49, v59 license holders: [Download] button opens the same link as the [Info/buy] button, instead of the download link!
note: for cases where an upgrade is required, we might want to change the order to [Install] . . . [Close] [Info/Buy]
2) For V59, INF license holders: the links that appear are still [Info/Buy]. . . . [Close] [Download] and function exactly as with 1) above!

 The rationale was that the [Install now] button (to direct install) shows only when there isn't any [Info/buy] button,
i.e. when the current license will be still valid after the automatic install, but thinking about it we could change it to always show the [Install now] and having [Info/Buy] more prominent which I resolved by making the [Info/Buy] button highlighted whenever is available, otherwise [Install now] is the default button.

Added in 3180

Verified all in 3180 except for the actual installation.
