Added option to only notify about major updates. This setting is now the default and can be changed in the config by changing the setting "NOTIFY_UPDATES" from "major" to "all".
This setting was achieves by turning the previous if statement into an if-else statement with the new option. For this, I utilized a function that gets the latest tag from the GitHub repository.
I wasn't able to implement the 'if URL exists' check, the URL would just not return an error negating the function. I will probably fix this in the future, but as it is now, if the GitHub API server can't be reached this might trow an error.
The major release is still the previous update version retreated from the GitHub repository. This means I will only update that version for major or otherwise important updates.
I implemented this feature because I didn't want to spam new users with a new update notification every other day.
The homepage can now be changed to a user's profile page with the option "HOME_URL" in the config (found on the Admin Panel under Admin>Config).
This commit is a bit janky, I wanted to change the homepage with a setting saved in the database, but I couldn't finish this in time, so this has to do for now.
An if statement in the web routes PHP checks if the new setting is present in the config and changes the homepage to the listed LittleLink Custom name. If the homage is changed, the page previously set as the homepage where users can register and or login can now be found at .../home.
Added email verification after user registration. After a user registered, an email is sent to the email used to sign up. The mail contains a verification link which is required to complete the registration process.
This feature can be turned off in the Admin Panel under: Admin>Config by changing the setting "Register_auth" from "verified" to "auth".

LittleLink Custom now includes an .env config editor. This editor can be accessed via the Admin Panel under Admin>Config.
This editor allows admins to edit, backup, download and upload the .env configuration file. All in all, the new feature, allows users to more easily edit the configuration file, contributing to my goal of making LittleLink Custom easier to use.

Added default '.env' config file. I'm keeping the '.env.example' in the repository, but an easier setup process a default configuration will from now on be included in the repository.
I'm switching from MySQL to SQLite for the same reason mentioned above. By adding the MySQL database setting from '.env.example' to the '.env' config, MySQL can still be used as the database.
