feat: prompting users to upgrade when newer app version available #1061
Conversation
Integrate the `upgrader` package to prompt users to update the app when a new version is available. Wrap the main application widget with `UpgradeAlert` to enable the update check functionality.
Allow the app to handle HTTPS URLs with specified actions and categories by adding intent filters in the AndroidManifest.xml.
Add version and build number display in the app drawer using the `package_info_plus` package. Include dynamic rendering through `FutureBuilder`.

Replace `UpgradeAlert` with a new `UpgradeDialog` widget to customize the "Update now" button functionality. Redirect users to the appropriate app store or GitHub Releases page based on the installer source.

Adjust the "Update now" functionality to handle updates differently for Android by introducing a custom URL resolution method and preventing default behavior when the update action is handled.

IMO it would be best to avoid using non-opaque colors unless necessary. They're much more costly to render than simple 0xFF###### colors.

A nice to have here would be an UpgraderStore that checks the version on github releases, but this isn't absolutely necessary, we can rely on play store version for now.

If users tap on "Update Now," they will be redirected to the app store page of the app, where they can tap on the update button to update the app.
