This commit implements a system to check for new application versions and notify the user.

On page load, the server-side code now fetches the latest release from the GitHub repository API. It uses semver to compare the current application version with the latest release tag.

If a newer version is available, an alert is displayed in the footer with a link to the release page. The current application version is also now displayed in the footer. The version check is cached for one hour to minimize API requests.
