New description:

 At the moment, most third party updaters use
 `pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins` to add extra update data.
 Unfortunately this method is prone to being a bit heavy handed, as
 `update_plugins` is updated in other places, such as when it has the
 expiration bumped just before the actual request. Custom updaters can't
 really hook into this correctly without doing some stupid tricks.

 Attached patch adds `core_version_check_response`,
 `plugins_update_check_response`, and `themes_update_check_response`
 filters (not sure why you'd use the core one, but it's there for
 consistency).
