 This is a followup to #50350.

 In 5.5, when a plugin/theme successfully auto-updates, an email is sent to
 the site admin listing the plugins/themes and the versions they were
 updated **TO**.

 The versions they updated **FROM** would be very helpful, in case admins
 realize that the update (although successful) causes compatibility
 problems (with other plugins, etc) and they need to rollback to the
 previous version (many admins probably won't remember what version they
 were running).

 Unfortunately, by the time the email is generated the version updated
 **FROM** is no longer available.

 5.6 should refactor the `WP_Automatic_Updater` so that the version updated
 **FROM** is available when the emails are generated.
