Comment (by dd32):

 I don't think adding a new meta_cap is really needed honestly.

 I'd just remove the cap check in `wp_plugin_update_rows()` myself, the
 `wp_plugin_update_row()` function includes a cap check which either
 notifies about the update, or notifies and links to a update depending on
 the users auth.
 This check in particular was added to replace a `if ( is_multisite() &&
 !is_super_admin() )` check in [12753], it seems that the previous check
 was more appropriate IMHO.

 The Core update nag check also tests `if ( is_multisite() &&
 !current_user_can('update_core') )` which I also feel should switch to
 nagging super admins..

 The Dashboard -> Updates page is a bit newer though, and allowing access
 to that would be a little more interesting.
