[PRIVACY] Add a DNS method to fetch new updates

- Use TXT records in order to determine the latest available version.
- This addresses a valid privacy issue, as with HTTP requests the server
can keep track(estimated) of how many instances are using Forgejo, with
DNS that's basically not possible as the server will never receive any
data, as the only ones receiving data are DNS resolvers.

- `ENABLE_SUCCESS_NOTICE`: **true**: Set to false to switch off success notices.
- `SCHEDULE`: **@every 168h**: Cron syntax for scheduling a work, e.g. `@every 168h`.
- `HTTP_ENDPOINT`: **https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/version.json**: the endpoint that Gitea will check for newer versions
- `DOMAIN_ENDPOINT`: **release.forgejo.org**: the domain that, if specified, Gitea will check for newer versions. This is preferred over `HTTP_ENDPOINT`.
