This PR changes how the application checks if the static database needs to be updated or not. Before it checked what date was written to the
version.txt
file in theunipept-database
repo. Right now, it uses the metadata that's associated with the latest release. This makes the application more robuust since it will now only try to download the newest version of the static database if it actually exists. See issue #269 for more details.
