Summary0011727: built-in update push notification
DescriptionWe've seen plenty of cases where the Taler Wallet does not get auto-updated by Google Play, leaving users in some cases with completely non-functional versions of the wallet. We should implement a built-in notification mechanism that alerts users of new versions of the wallet and prompts them to update before continuing.

This is a very standard pattern, and even though it could be annoying to some users, Google Play leaves us no choice!
