Inform user when addon is outdated

[3mkay]

Adds a post-start script which checks installed version of addon vs github latest and reports back to user.

I like that!

I see ddev exec running on exec-host, although it's post-start. I haven't tested this yet, I will and get back to you.
I like the curl trick, a lot. We shouldn't be far away from getting this done.

Yeah. I wonder whether it could be turned-around to force it to run on the web container and simplify those commands.
I'm only running on the container because we can't be sure that curl or jq are installed locally.

I hate escaping quotes!

Spotted that the first jq call is not being made via ddev but it's a nightmare of quotes.
Need to look at it again.

Looks like we need to run this on the host and call ddev exec otherwise we cannot get the version of the installed addon.

It's tricky...
Use exec for the web container rather than exec-host which always runs on the host. However, you need ddev which is only available in the host, so this script needs both the host and the web container.
But you can grep the manifest file from inside the web container:

cat .ddev/addon-metadata/annertech-ddev/manifest.yaml | grep -oP '(?<=version: ")[^"]+'
1.14
