design flaw: third party addons cannot be updated for guest users

[Ivshti]

because there's no API addonCollectionGet for guest users, third party addons cannot be updated

should be fixed long term

This can be resolved using the same algo we use to update official addons: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-core/blob/master/src/state_types/models/context.rs#L140

We can just do another async call to get the latest thirdparty addon catalog, and update

There must be a last_modified field so we update addons only if they are older than a fixed duration, like 1 week.
a bit of a challenge could be to properly schedule the requests, because if we request all addons on app start that will cause the same issues board does.
How could we avoid requesting all addons on app start?
Should we auto-update ONLY the addons that are part of the community catalog?

Hello can I work on this?

It's not yet clear how exactly we want to implement it.
I suggest we keep the current update the official addons as and update the 3rd party addons based on the community catalog
both of those should be triggered when PullAddonsFromAPI action is dispatch, without using any timers or flags in the core
