DietPi-Update | Update reporting older version as newer

[DasClarky]

dietpi-update = Run now to update DietPi (from V159 to V157).

I doubt this is normal and i run updates as instructed.

@k-plan

Should be fixed for v159. To clear the existing update available flag, requires a script run of dietpi-update which auto runs during boot, or when user runs dietpi-update.

We did have a possible issue with dietpi-ramdisk not saving to disk during shutdown, this is resolved for v6.0.

I'll mark this as closed for now, unable to replicate it in testing. We can reopen if v6.0 users report the same issue.
