Update notifications never appear

@pserwylo, assigning you since you reworked much of the UpdateService and before it worked ;) But really, I looked at it and found some other bugs while at it, but couldn't figure this one out yet.

Situation: updates tab says there are updates, but you never get notified. @CiaranG ran real tests with his repos and confirms that it isn't working.

I tried to simulate it by using downloader.setETag("foo"); in updater/RepoUpdater.java, so that it thinks that the index is always new. That seems to work.

Now we get to the bug. updateCount is always zero. I don't think that setEtag above caused this, but rather that this is the source of the issue.

Setting to milestone 0.66 as this is a blocker for a stable (even though this is already broken in 0.63, we want to fix it).

Thanks for the info. I think I have an idea what might be going on, and have started to work on it. I'm a tad busy now, but will give a debrief of what might be happening when/if I figure it out properly.

@pserwylo I know you're busy with other things, so if you can tell me what the problem is that is plenty and I can take care of the rest.

Now running master - if tomorrow I get a notification, I'll close this and do a stable release.

Works! Closing and doing a release.
