Add granular update check configuration settings #2787

Describe the request

Add separate update check settings for:

  • Arduino IDE application
  • boards platforms
  • libraries

Describe the current behavior

When an update for the IDE, installed boards platform, or library is available, Arduino IDE displays a notification.

In some cases, the user may need to intentionally refrain from performing an update (e.g., their program is not compatible with the latest version of a dependency. In this case, the reappearance of the unresolveable update notification on IDE startup is annoying

It is possible to disable update checks entirely via the advanced settings. However this disables all update checks, which may result in the user missing notifications for updates they would like to accept.
