Problem/Motivation
Locale module makes use of update_process_info_list() to get project information. Without update module interface translations can not be downloaded or updated because the is not information about the project available. This will result in (partly) untranslated sites and thus bad user experience when for example the 'Check for updates automatically' is disabled during installation.
Proposed resolution
The proposed solution is to move the functions responsible for parsing the project information out of Update module into a file includes/project.inc
When this move is completed, the project data handling and caching can be improved in #1832946: Create a small project API to be used by Update and Locale.
