1. Add "What's New" page to show release notes after update to new version …

   Currently when a user uses Sparkle updater to update, they will see the
   release notes beforehand. However, if they are updating across multiple
   versions, they only see the latest one. Also, if they are using
   automatic update, they will not see the release notes page. Users who
   get MacVim from Homebrew or manually building from source also do not
   see the release notes as those mechanisms are driven from command line.
   This makes it harder to communicate new features and announcements to
   these users.
   
   Add a new "What's New" page that will be automatically shown whenever
   the user has updated to a new version of MacVim. The last version of
   MacVIm is tracked by the MMLastUsedBundleVersion value previously added
   in macvim-dev#1357, which allows us to detect such update no matter what
   installation method was used and display a dialog box. Other than
   opening at launch, the user can also open it in the Help menu, and
   there's an option to make it not open at launch if it's annoying to
   the user.
   
   The release notes is served by http://macvim.org/ (done in
   macvim-dev/macvim-dev.github.io#1) so we don't
   have to bundle it locally and it makes it easier to update them. MacVim
   will know the request a range of release notes (if updating across
   multiple versions at once) so that all new versions will be visible.
   
   Also, fix it so that both Sparkle updater and the new What's New page
   will properly be shown on top of the new MacVim window that gets opened
   when MacVim is launched. Previously when we get a new update, Sparkle
   frequently gets hid behind the editor window.
