"Plugins API"-like approach for updates

[hecke29]

Currently one can modify the installation- and search-process for plugins with applying filters for 'plugins_api'-filter (used in function plugins_api in wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php).

This is not possible for the update process (function wp_update_plugins in wp-includes/update.php) that gather information for available updates.

I'd love to see a apply_filter for the response (instead) of wp_remote_post in the lastly mentioned function like in the mentioned plugins_api
