Unity 'Check for Updates' feature won't work
How to reproduce:
1. Open an outdated version of Unity
2. Create a new project
3. Check for updates in 'Help->Check for Updates'
Expected result: Unity 'Check for Updates' feature always suggests latest stable release of Unity.
Actual result: Unity 'Check for Updates' feature fails to check for a new version and shows that the current version is the latest or claims that the latest version is the one which is actually not.
Reproducible with - 5.5.0a6, 5.5.5f1, 5.6.0a1, 5.6.3p4, 2017.1.0a1, 2017.1.0b9, 2017.1.2f1, 2017.2.0a1, 2017.2.0f1
(Newer versions were not tested as the latest stable Unity release as of now is 2017.2.0f2)
Note: The update system seems stuck at 2017.2.0b8. It is promoted on 5.6, 2017.1 and 2017.2. If release is past b8 stage, then it is considered to be the latest version.

This is still not working. Having a menu item that doesn't do what it claims to do can never be by design. Am using Unity 6.0.23 and it still says it is up to date when there is a 6.0.26. Fix the feature or remove the option.

Possibly related: "Check for Updates" does nothing at all on the Linux version.
