very cool, thank you @Wauplin!
while you're at it, could you update the windows command everywhere (including the docs) to
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://hf.co/cli/install.ps1 | iex"
Changing the execution policy allows running a script from the internet.

With this PR, any CLI command will trigger an auto-check of the latest version available on PyPI and suggest the user to upgrade if a new version is available. This autocheck is disabled if user is running on a
.devor.rcversion. The check is done only once every 24h to avoid spamming user. If any exception is raised in the process, it will fail silently and do not stop the CLI command.A utility method has been added to check if
huggingface_hubpackage has been installed via the HF installer (e.g.curl ... | sh), via Homebrew or via pip (default). This allows us to print a personalized message on how to autoupdate.Example:
(note: fake example as it wouldn't be triggered on a dev version)
