 [32635] (4.3) accidentally started globalizing `$wp_version` in
 `wp_version_check()` and related functions.

 What ends up happening is it becomes global, then including `wp-
 includes/version.php` actually overrides the global. Thus, the right
 information gets reported back to WordPress.org, and the rest of the
 pageload has an unadulterated `$wp_version`.

 We should still change this back to avoid stomping the global
 unnecessarily.
