Add startup (maintenance) mode

Write and update a /wp-content/maintenance.php file during the core/plugin/theme/language update and install steps; and run those steps in a background process, while the FastCGI server starts-up ASAP.

  • Ensure writing said file works as intended; returns 503 and content
  • Background install steps à la wp-cron
  • Set caching headers to disable caching?
  • Build a page including a spinner and self-updating mechanism (meta-redirect?)
