Tidied up package README and LICENSE files
- we shouldn't need individual LICENSE files because these packages
  won't be published, so the top-level one applies
- also cleaned up README files to remove mentions of Lerna monorepos and
  install instructions

Update Check Service

Makes a request to updates.ghost.org to check for release & custom notifications. The service is provided in return for users opting in to anonymous usage data collection.

Usage

Check the UpdateCheckService's constructor JSDoc for the list of available parameters. This is how the service is initialized in Ghost:

const api = require('./api').v2;
const GhostMailer = require('./services/mail').GhostMailer;
const config = require('../shared/config');
const urlUtils = require('./../shared/url-utils');

const i18n = require('../shared/i18n');
const logging = require('../shared/logging');
const request = require('./lib/request');
const ghostVersion = require('./lib/ghost-version');
const UpdateCheckService = require('@tryghost/update-check-service');

const updateChecker = new UpdateCheckService({
    api: {
        settings: {
            read: api.settings.read,
            edit: api.settings.edit
        },
        posts: {
            browse: api.posts.browse
        },
        users: {
            browse: api.users.browse
        },
        notifications: {
            add: api.notifications.add
        }
    },
    config: {
        mail: config.get('mail'),
        env: config.get('env'),
        databaseType: config.get('database').client,
        checkEndpoint: config.get('updateCheck:url'),
        isPrivacyDisabled: config.isPrivacyDisabled('useUpdateCheck'),
        notificationGroups: config.get('notificationGroups'),
        siteUrl: urlUtils.urlFor('home', true),
        forceUpdate: config.get('updateCheck:forceUpdate'),
        ghostVersion: ghostVersion.original
    },
    i18n,
    logging,
    request,
    sendEmail: ghostMailer.send
});

// run the update check with 

updateChecker.check();
