Add a notification that lets you know when an update is out

The easiest way to test this is probably to change the version in your
package.json and delete the last notification storage item.

1. change version in root `package.json`
2. Open DevTools > Application > Storage (top-level)
3. Click "Clear site data"
4. See update notification
