Previously, if the user had components installed on `nightly` which were not available for the latest nightly, `rustup update` would not update the user's nightly at all. With this patch, rustup will try progressively older nightlies until it finds a nightly that supports all the components the user has installed for their current nightly. Fixes rust-lang#1628. Makes progress towards rust-lang#1501. Fixes the underlying issue in rust-lang#1676.

Instead of failing or forcing, just use not-so-up-to-date version.
