Update the code that checks for package updates

[nfelt14]

fix: Replaced a third-party package used to check for updates with a few lines of code to perform a request and parse the returned json. This prevents a PermissionsError from happening on some systems. Also added a flag to enable the check for updates, it now defaults to off.

Proposed changes

This fixes a potential PermissionsError by replacing a third-party package with a direct usage of requests.get(). A config option was added, defaulting to False, that can enable a check for updates when the DeviceManager is first instantiated if the user wants to have that behavior.
