    Hub should check if the Unity version of projects (ProjectVersion.txt) were updated while Hub is running.

    It always requires extra communication and effort for our team when updating a project to a recent version of Unity. I wish Hub would check the ProjectVersion.txt regularly and automatically refresh the version of the project. In its current implementation, hub will refresh the version info only when starting up. Some of us keep our PC running 7/24 and some of us work in different time zones, which means you never know when will the Hub be restarted for all teammates. So we always find ourselves talking about "Hey its time to update the version so please select ####.#.## version in your hub." or something.

    Feature request:
    Hub not only refreshes the version info of projects at startup, but also refreshes when Hub window gets the focus AND also when launching a project from systray icon context menu.

    This way, it will be much simpler for someone to
    - pull changes from repository (which includes ProjectVersion.txt change),
    - close currently running Unity (which was a previous version),
    - switch to Hub (that refreshes the version info on-the-fly),
    - click onto the project (which automatically runs the project on newer version of Unity without requiring manually selecting the version, assuming that the version was already downloaded).
