This commit introduces unattended-update cron consumer. Unattended updates are configurable to perform update autonomously or to wait for admin to reboot. Unattended upadate reuses UPDATE URL from check-update and is configurable under system/software yang. Cron consumer downloads release tar and extracts .pkg(used by rauc) under /var/lib/misc/unattended-update. Resolves: kernelkit#1301 Signed-off-by: Ejub Sabic <ejub1946@outlook.com>
