Fix and enhance version tracker script

The Version Tracker of the 0.9 Branch still tracks the 0.8 Jenkins files, therefore allways claim being Outdated
Was going to complain about that 0.9 tells me there is a version 123 but seems like you guys are working on something new.. If you make some kind of auto-update, please let it be OFF by default
@Casper-O if it could be configurable via the new mod options GUI in-game, then I would like to see it ON by default. Just my $0.02.
We now have a version notifier server that works with the newest versions. All the builds from the archive will get a notification about the newest stable build (on 0.9.2 right now).
I would like to remove the version tracker entirely, as we have support for other version checking mechanisms.
I was thinking about http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/2091981-version-checker-auto-update-mods-and-clean
Because we have made an extra implementation for it here: #376
The advantage is that we do not need a server-side script for that. That mod looks at Jenkins directly.
Other than that mod, there is also the NEM Version Checker that checks against the NotEnoughMods database.
Those are all newer implementation than our own check, so our own check was reasonable at the time @davboecki made it.
I would prefer the Version checker Implementation we specificly made in #376
that seems to me as the Best of all solutions.
And since you said it directly looks at the Jenkins, its the cleanest one too
And I love the auto update function of that Mod
