Remove dependency on module BurntToast

Get-PackageUpdateSetting introduces:
- UpdateCheckInterval — how often Get-PackageUpdateInfo seeks out for query updates on modules (default: once per hour)
- DefaultRule — general checking on which module to include/exclude and which part of the version number triggers an update report

Command Get-PackageUpdateInfo
- Fix Issue #11 — error on command when more than 63 modules are installed. The command Find-Module only accepts a maximum number of 63 strings in the Name parameter. Workaround with a for-each loop around this one.
