This method accepts all detected changes in cron-based fetch and picks
those the site admins want to be informed about (based on the maturity
level etc).
If enabled, Moodle sites will check for updates every night sometimes
between 01:00 AM and 06:00 AM local time. The actual offset will be
generated randomly at the beginning and used consistently since then.
This way, the queries against the server are supposed to be spread in
time.
Serious site admins should not try to upgrade their sites later than
01:00 AM as they are too tired already. Neither should they do it before
06:00 AM as they did not have a morning coffee yet and are too tired yet
:-)
In case of Moodle code itself, there is no plugin_manager like class
available so the checker class itself must be aware of versions and
actually do the checks. On the other hand, we can always rely that
version, release and maturity are always returned by the remote server.
