Alex Spataru 47c6909259 Rewrite library to allow multiple updaters & JSON appcasts
- The update definitions are now stored in the JSON format
- The QSimpleUpdater now allows updating separate “modules” of the
application, this can be useful if you are using a large application
with several updatable plugins
- You can now implement your own procedures to install the downloaded
updates

# What is this?
The [updates.json](updates.json) file is the update definitions file. In other words, it lists the latest versions, changelogs and download URLs for each platform.
The example project downloads the [updates.json](updates.json) file and analyzes in order to:
- Compare the local (user set) version and the remote version (specified in [updates.json](updates.json))
- Download the change log for the current platform
- Obtain the download URLs
- Obtain the URL to open (if specified)
