Bug 1940376: Stop manual help trying to work out series via curl

We don't need this bit to do the version check via curl as we can work
out the latest stable version based on the *dev or *rc value

This will stop mahara.org from being hammered by this request as the
cron call only happens once a day

Title:
  Need to adjust the checking for versions from mahara.org so that it
  only happens less frequently

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
