Could 'find_latest_release' still throw an exception? If so, we might want to catch that.

A few days ago, Basuke added an outer `try` because find_latest_release was catching just HTTPError instead of the more general URLError (which includes network errors and the like). This patch changes find_latest_release to catch URLError so that the outer `try` is unnecessary. It could still hit a TypeError when decoding the JSON response, but we probably want user intervention in such a strange case anyway.
