It's been a mistake to make every Moodle site out there to check for
available update every two hours, on the hour. We are experiencing
server load peaks that are harder and harder to deal with.
The patch addresses this by (1) checking for available updates just once
a day and (2) distributing the checking times randomly around the clock.
This is a backport of MDL-73748 already present in 3.11.
