Notification for developer build and when new versions are available

version-update

This is tweak to the startup screen.

If the version someone is running a a development version, it will say "dev build" by the Start title. I have a link for now taking people to a bug page for the dev build. We might want to change this to something else.

If someone is connected to the internet and there is a newer version of Krita available, a message will appear telling them. They can click on the link to the news article.

Also added tracking so we know how many people are clicking these links.

I modified a couple variables to force the "new version available" text and made sure link worked.
