Allow users to manually trigger deferred updates

Currently, when a user defers an application update due to a conflicting process, they have to wait approximately 24 hours before being prompted again.

It would be useful to have an option to manually trigger the update after deferring it, rather than waiting for the next scheduled retry.

For example, if an update appears at 9:30am while I'm busy working, I might defer it with the intention of updating during lunch. However, there's no easy way to do this, and the update will likely reappear at 9:30am the following day when I'm busy again.

Ideally, users could open a system tray menu or similar interface to view pending updates and choose to install them when convenient.
