Joey Hess 5b478722da make DistributionUpdate download build-version files and use them in the info files
Also automated downloading the builds, finally. I had done it by hand until
now.

Note that the Windows autobuilder has an expired cert, so it will refuse to
download from it currently. I have emailed its admin to get that fixed,
hopefully.

### Please describe the problem.
Hi,
On OSX the web-app keeps notifying me of an upgrade, I choose to run it but nothing seems to happen.
The debug logs show that the upgrade is skipped as it's redundant.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Have upgrades set to notify.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Current.
### Please provide any additional information below.
