Add a "latest" URL for the web client

[tylerbrockett]

I spent some time figuring out why the progress bar broke for me, come to find out the issue was that I was using v8-3.foldingathome.org/machines instead of v8-4*.foldingathome.org/machines

Is it feasible to add some form of a latest.foldingathome.org/machines? I understand it needs to correlate dependent on the version of FaH Client we're running, but it would at least allow us to not need to worry so much about updating bookmarks, etc. Especially for anyone running something like a docker setup with watchtower to automate image and container updates.

I don't know about the docker behaviour, but in normal circumstances, URL now auto updates. I'd you are running v8.4, and enter v8-3.foldingathome.org, web UI automatically change it to v8-4

It's true that Web Control will redirect to the correct address but only the first time it detects a newer client. So if you use a bookmark you will end up going back to the old Web Control and the second time it wont redirect.

I think the solution is to have Web Control pop up a dialog when it detects a newer client version. The dialog would suggest to the user that they should move to the newer Web Control URL and update their bookmarks. The popup would come up every time the page is reloaded unless the user either moves to the newer Web Control or ticks a box telling the dialog not to come up again until another version change is detected. This way the user has to explicitly tell Web Control to let them keep using the old Web Control.
