This commit tells zmupdate.pl to check the version from https://update.zoneminder.com/version.txt
update.zoneminder.com is now hosted on one of my servers, with SSL.
A cronjob fires off every 15 minutes and 1) pulls down the latest version from https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/blob/master/version. 2) 'pings' DeadMansSnitch
If the cronjob has not succeeded within the last hour, I am alerted (via DeadMansSnitch). This should prevent any silently failing issues.
The reason for this is simple: We can now take a look at the updates.zoneminder.com access log and get a rough estimate on the number of users that we have.
