Request: ability to close the "New update available" window

[mpetitjean]

When a new update is available for Mailspring, a window open on the bottom left of the screen saying "An update to Mailspring is available (version)". As far as I can see there is no option to close/discard the pop-up.

As an Arch Linux user, I rely on the AUR package to update Mailspring but there could be a bit of latency with respect to the actual new release. It would be interesting to add another button in the window saying "Discard" or "later".
