Update individual generators from the menu

When an update is available. Would be nice. Thoughts?

I think we can use https://github.com/TooTallNate/keypress to get the space keypress event.

I love the <3, and the usage can be figured out, but it's not inherently obvious. Nothing explains what hitting enter will do (unless it was scrolled off the screen?)

What about something like:

(?) 'Allo Sindre! What would you like to do?:
Press [Enter] to run, [Space] to update.               <-- always visible (if possible?)
> Webapp <3 Update Available!
  Angular
  Backbone

@stephenplusplus Enter is the canonical way to run something. I don't think it needs explaining. I prefer to keep it minimalistic. The user has already pressed Enter to run many times before the space message shows up.

The user has already pressed Enter to run many times before the space message shows up.

Assuming they're already Yeoman users, this would be an easy transition. But I don't just mean "they won't know they have to hit enter", I mean we don't even say what enter will do, meaning that nothing says "This will run a generator." Just saying!

@stephenplusplus It does say that, but at the top. Here's a screenshot from the initial view:

Note also #352 -> #851, suggesting adding a shortcut for opening a repository.
