Introduce EDatabaseError exception class, so we're able to handle only those and let others raise the exception up to MadExcept. Helps finding non-database related AVs as users are able to get the callstack now. Similar to r3292 but more consistent all over the code now.

Only replace updater tool in temp directory if it has become outdated. Avoids annoyance for users which have whitelisted this .exe in their antivirus or whatever software.

Implement a new external updater tool, stick that updater.exe as resource to the main executable, release and run it when the user clicks "Download build xyz". The updater itself posts WM_CLOSE messages to all Heidi instances, waits until all instances are gone, and then replaces the .exe with the downloaded one, after having copied a backup file to your temp directory.

WinExec() is deprecated in Vista and Windows 7, even in WinXP it was only kept for compatibility to 16 bit applications. Replace these 3 calls with ShellExecute(). Fixes issue #1406 .

Simplify writing settings to registry:
...
* Keep only one TRegistry object in memory instead of creating a new one in each routine.
* Move out relevant functions and TRegistry object from main to helpers to make them usable globally.

Make the memo for build infos slightly larger in updatecheck dialog. Put notes from more than only the last revision into it. By passing the revision with "?r=123" to the PHP file, it returns all notes from the current up to the used revision (but never more than 10, as TIniFile seems to have a small maximum line size of 2048 chars.

Simplify updatecheck: Make unit updatedownload superflous by moving relevant code to updatecheck.pas. Resign from displaying a progressbar for the mostly short download time, instead use the existing status label for a textual progress information.

Updatecheck: Find a batchfile-solution to replace the running exe with a downloaded build.
...
TODO: find some sleep command for the batch file, as we sometimes get "access denied" while trying to overwrite the just terminated exe. Seems like taskkill doesn't close all handles itself.

Introduce automatism for calling the updatecheck dialog. User can set the interval how often this is done in preferences dialog (default interval: 3 days, can be completely disabled). The automatic calling of this dialog should not disturb anyone as it's closed immediately if there are no updates available or if a developer version with an unknown revision is used.
...
Some GUI controls on the dialog had to be moved around as well as some lines of code so everything works well with the automatic dialog closing.
