(Whiteboard: [wecg])

This was discussed in WECG, see https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/112

The main use case is that extensions that have a backend server might know when there's a newer version, and could speed up in case of an urgent (security) update, which can otherwise take up to 24h.

Could be worth checking if user interaction is required.
