"Later" set updateInfo to null and nothing else, while the check behind
it runs on a five-minute interval — so the notice came back four times
an hour, all evening, for a version the operator had already declined.
The button was doing exactly what it said and was useless anyway.
It now offers 1, 4, 12 or 24 hours, and the deferral is recorded with
the VERSION it applies to. That scoping is the part that matters: a
release newer than the one put off is different news and appears at
once, so a snooze can defer an update but never bury one.
The cross hides it for an hour — the shortest of the four — rather than
for the five minutes until the next poll, which is what made the notice
feel broken. The background check honours the deferral; checkUpdateNow,
behind About, deliberately does not, because asking is asking.
Kept out of the portable UI prefs: a machine told to wait four hours has
said nothing about the operator's other machines.
