I think the Windows and Unix CI test is sufficient for testing the self-update so I think the PR is ready for review now. |

Allow self-updates on Windows by using self-replace crate.
I was able to test this by building a release from Linux to Windows and the self-update works. I would appreciate if somebody else can test this with a dedicated Windows setup since it would take me some time to setup Windows for Rust. Going to add a Windows CI test if I can.
One caveat with
std::env::current_exeis that if the executable is a symbolic link, this may be confused with updating the target of the link or the link itself. Given that the executables are in thestore_directoryand that should be inPATH, the executables should not be a symbolic link so this should not be an issue. Still this may be an edge case.Resolves #115
