explain the greedy setting in the settings window

Browse source 
Add a note under the greedy checkbox spelling out what self-updating
casks are and that the setting affects both the outdated listing and
upgrades (Upgrade All and auto-upgrade). The indented-gray-note layout
is extracted into a noteRow helper, now shared with the cask warning.
