Description
Every user of the admin panel sees the core update notification if there is an update available. It should only be displayed to users who have a sufficient capability. Not quite sure what though, maybe switch_themes?

What if the administrator infrequently logs in? Authors who don't have FTP/SSH access could tell the administrator of the message, hastening the upgrade. We could to the manage_options test and to unpriv'd users say "Please notify the site administrator"
