Issue body

If a developer is consuming a library from Charmhub, the will initially pull it in using `charmcraft fetch-lib`. Right now, the developer would need to reissue that command periodically to check for charm library updates. Noting the [spec for charmcraft analyze](https://discourse.charmhub.io/t/proposal-charmcraft-analyze/4792), we could add a check under the `lint` category that compares those libraries imported with the latest available versions and shows the user a warning if there is a later version.
