Proposed changes

When wanting to install plugins that are not in WP.org, there's no way to install the latest stable release.

This PR adds this functionality, pulling from GitHub (e.g. https://api.github.com/repos/Automattic/jetpack-beta/releases/latest).

The existing code is quite scattered and WP.org-centric. A refactor with generic objects populated from either source would be ideal, but that's out of scope.
