Also starts a detached process so the window doesn't get held open
(many GUI apps launch the interface in a new process, so xdg-open
returns immediately, but it's not guaranteed).
- Use Node instead of lbrynet to get platform info
- Factor out code that picks the download URI into its own function
- Remove out-of-date code for checking old versions of MacOS
- Manually call xdg-open instead of using shell.openItem(), which
doesn't reliably work from the main process
- If there's a connection error or timeout when asking the daemon
to close, fall back on force killing

- Now asks the daemon to close, even if it wasn't started by the same
app
- Improved UX during upgrade process (cancel buttons, final dialog
where you approve the update, etc.)
- Saves updates in temp directory, closes app and launches the installer
- Refactoring throughout JSON-RPC, lbrynet and Lighthouse logic
- Move JSON-RPC stuff into its own module
- Add ability to directly call API methods on the lbry and lighthouse
modules, e.g. lbry.file_list({name: 'what'})
- New-style API calls use promises instead of callbacks.
- Converted some lbrynet calls and all Lighthouse calls to use the new
style
