If an update has the n-e-v-r changed, the n-e-v-r being replaced is not
likely to ever be used in a different future update. So each update could
maintain a list of all n-e-v-r's that have ever been associated with it.
Then make bodhi support URLs for all n-e-v-r's associated with the update
rather than only the latest. When sending URLs in email just use the
latest n-e-v-r. Thus changing an existing update will never break any URL
