[support] Automatic update.php

[Jamie Holly]

It might not be the exact solution you are looking for, but I have done 
similar things with the iMacro add on for Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863

That way you can create a macro to actually put the site in offline 
mode, then run update.php and then return it to online mode. I haven't 
actually used it for update.php, but have used it for a lot of other 
repetitive things I have to do in Drupal.

(fyi - it looks like a feature request is in for update.php handling in 
Drush, but it isn't yet committed)
