📄 Description

I took a first stab at this feature in issue https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/2809. It uses the Github API to check the latest release tag for this repository and uses version_compare to do a comparison. I only tested it with valid release versions (so no -dev).

@ssddanbrown

I added a new translation, what would be the correct way to add this to the repo?
Do you think this fits well with the rest of the application design wise?

Please let me know if there is anything unclear or missing. Thanks!
