The test asks InstallUpdate to install the latest beta into an
unwritable file and expects an error. When the binary under test
reports exactly the latest beta version (as make quicktest does right
after a beta is published from the same commit), InstallUpdate
correctly decides there is nothing to do and returns nil, and the test
then dereferences the nil error and panics.
Pin fs.Version to a fixed old value for the duration of the test so an
update is always attempted, and use require.Error so a missing error
fails the test instead of crashing it.
