Describe the request

Currently the board menu will show an 'install' button for any board. If you have the current version of the board it will show the install button for the previous version, and if you are behind the current version it will also show an install button. The only way to differentiate the two is to cross check the two verison numbers.

Its much better to show an 'update' button for boards that can be updated, it makes the IDE easier to use because you can instantly see in the boards manager if a board is updatable instead of having to check version numbers. It also differentiates the action of updating something from that of installing an older version over the current version.
