[Robert Lyon <1940376@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

When we are on a *dev or *rc version of the site the lib/manualhelp.php
code for creating the help links to the manual does a check by fetching
the the info to find out what is the latest stable version is.

We need to do this in a better way because at the moment it does check
and saves the info to session - so this means all the people who log in
will all make the call (along with the logged out session).

We should save the value after the first fetch in the config.php table,
eg 'latest_stable_version' so that it only gets fetched once on load of
site.

Then updated via normal cron system
