Subject: [PATCH] Make a waiting update visible instead of hiding it in the
 settings

The start-up check already ran, but its result only showed as a badge for
whoever happened to open the settings. A chip in the top bar now says
"Update <version>" and leads straight there, and the check repeats every
six hours because a TV keeps the same process alive for days.
