One updater for app and server: updater in core; watch-together-server --upgrade / --check-update; update.sh uses the server

The server's version is stamped like the app's (APP_VERSION) when packaged,
so it can compare against the manifest; --upgrade swaps the whole install
folder (app and server) and asks for a restart. update.sh/.bat no longer
need GTK.

`./watch-together-server --upgrade` (no display needed, so it works on a
server box too), `watch_together --upgrade`, or the shipped `update.sh` /

server; restart whichever is running to use the new version. A
release with a newer protocol is a required update: everyone on a server
must run the same protocol version, and a mismatch is refused with a message
telling you to update.
