Research direction
Start by reviewing the Sunshine repository and the linked system-tray discussion (LizardByte discussions/674) to understand the existing update-check and tray behavior. The requested scope includes interval checks, system-tray notifications, a per-session duplicate-notification mechanism, a custom command, and manual tray checks; done means these behaviors are supported.

Description
Currently, a user is only notified of a new Sunshine version if they open the web-ui. This can be improved.
- Check for updates on an interval, and:
- Display a system tray notification
- Run a custom command (similar to a prep command), where the user could do whatever they want... such as send a discord webhook, email, etc.
- Allow manually checking for updates from the system tray (https://github.com/orgs/LizardByte/discussions/674)
If a system tray notification, we need to have a mechanism to not send the same notification more than once (per session).
