interface BackdropUpdaterInterface

Interface for a class which can update a Backdrop project.

An Updater currently serves the following purposes:

It can take a given directory, and determine if it can operate on it.
It can move the contents of that directory into the appropriate place on the system using FileTransfer classes.
It can return a list of "next steps" after an update or install.
In the future, it will most likely perform some of those steps as well.
