When not running Chocolatey GUI, each package update present UAC prompt

[gep13]

I am not sure if there is anything that we can do about this (not sure if this can be detected or not) but when running ChocolateyGUI without Administrator permissions, where UAC hasn't been turned off, running Update All present a UAC prompts when starting to install each package.

Besides bumping the whole app up to Admin, I'm not sure I could do much about this.

I will look into whether it is possible to detect, within the application, whether it is running with admin priveleges, and it it is, we could look at providing a message to the user to indicate that they might want to restart the application before continuing.

You can make it restart itself in admin mode
