Automatic update (internal)

for accessing external sites. When automatic update check is issued,
ConEmu tries to download version.ini with information about current
versions available, and than, after confirmation, it downloads appropriate
Installer

7-Zip package.
If download procedure fails for some reason please read Troubleshoot internet issues article.
