Add option "needs db update" on new module releases

I throw this as a suggestion.

It might be helpful if new module releases were also flagged based on whether they contain db updates. It could also be listed in the admin/reports/updates page, in a similar way as with security-related updates.

    There hasn't been support for this in the last seven years. The issue summary doesn't explain what the advantage of this would be. And, I am pessimistic like @drumm. As a release manager, I do not want to create an environment where sites think it is optional to update the database when doing an update or upgrade. I think that it should be ingrained process to always run database updates.
