Allow defining when to check for updates and send alert emails

Updates and alert emails are sent once every 24 hours, which can result in an update alert getting sent 23 hours after a security update was released, if I am not mistaken.

Since Drupal security updates are usually sent out around 18:00 GMT, it would be nice if there was a setting to define exactly when to check for updated and send email updates, for example at 20:00 GMT.

Alternatively, if selecting "Check for updates > Daily", a day can be selected, but maybe it's even worth considering a new option, which is "Check for updates > every hour" to make sure you get email alerts ASAP?

    I am not sure it's a duplicate ... I suggest setting the time of day here, something you reject in that issue:

    I'm not sure what to do with this. I think it's getting too complicated to add a time of day config knob, too, but maybe we "need" that. Or we need to invent something arbitrary like we always do these checks as close to "noon local time" as possible.

    I have updated the title in case it was ambiguous.

    Maybe the frequency should even be allowed to be set to "every hour" as well, to make sure you get alerts ASAP? I have updated the Issue Summary with this as well.
