This adds support for auto updating the configurator on Windows.
MacOS requires the binaries to be signed, so we can't support auto updates for it yet. There was a ticket opened for electron-builder to allow self signed certificates, but so far it has not got any traction electron-userland/electron-builder#6378.
The only build target that supports auto updating on Linux is AppImage, which we do not currently support as a installation method since it would necessitate bundling git and python in the image instead of letting the package manager handle the dependencies, but could be supported in the future.
