Smoother update process for minor updates of Homebrew libraries #723

Description

@CodeShakingSheep

If I want to apply minor updates to Homebrew libraries I need to uninstall and reinstall the library. Let's take redis 8 as an example. On my system I have redis 8.6.1 installed.

In the version tab it shows redis 8.8.0 as installed.

In fact version 8.8.0 is not installed (but version 8.6.1). So, to update redis from version 8.6.1 to version 8.8.0 I have to uninstall it completely (click "Uninstall" button on second screenshot) and then reinstall redis 8 (Click "Install" button) which installs version 8.8.0.

Redis is just an example for that. This also applied for PHP (for example PHP 8.5.6 --> PHP 8.5.7).

I think it would be nice to have an "Update" button next to the installed version which would simply update the library (without having to uninstall and reinstall it).
