183f7355cd global webapp redirects, to finish upgrades
When an automatic upgrade completes, or when the user clicks on the upgrade
button in one webapp, but also has it open in another browser window/tab,
we have a problem: The current web server is going to stop running in
minutes, but there is no way to send a redirect to the web browser to the
new url.

To solve this, used long polling, so the webapp is always listening for
urls it should redirect to. This allows globally redirecting every open
webapp. Works great! Tested with 2 web browsers with 2 tabs each.
May be useful for other purposes later too, dunno.

The overhead is 2 http requests per page load in the webapp. Due to yesod's
speed, this does not seem to noticibly delay it. Only 1 of the requests
could possibly block the page load, the other is async.

d24f7f94fe better UI flow through upgrade process
Move button to enable automatic upgrades to an alert displayed after
successful upgrade. Unclutters the UI and makes psychological sense.

6abaf19c41 restart on upgrade is working, including automatic restart
Made alerts be able to have multiple buttons, so the alerts about upgrading
can have a button that enables automatic upgrades.

Implemented automatic upgrading when the program file has changed.

Note that when an automatic upgrade happens, the webapp displays an alert
about it for a few minutes, and then closes. This still needs work.
