User story

As a admin, I want updateonstart to run steamcmd update and then start the rust server so that the rust server always starts with the latest code

### Steps to reproduce

1. Edit lgsm/config-lgsm/rustserver/rustserver.cfg and add updateonstart="on"
2. Start rust server if stopped or restart (./rustserver start|restart)
3. Receive messages as shown above.

To go back to prior operating conditions, comment out updateonstart from rustserver.cfg or change 'on' to 'off' to return to default behavior.

Unsure of the cause of this but I tested on the latest develop version of LinuxGSM and it is working. So if it is still not working it should be working by the next release.
