Title: Non-blocking update checking on client startup

Relevant ticket: #1506

In order to show the dialog immediately after finding a new version, the check has to be initiated by the client. The actual npm request code has been moved to the App server, and is accessible via the `/api/updatesVersion` endpoint. The request to it is launched when initializing the router on the client.
