Fix checking for a new version

[mezantrop]

• Replace a dead method

Also, it looks like on Windows the packaged Python is missed (correct) SSL libraries. A quick workaround for the installed Workbench is to copy a few files from the standalone Python current version 3.11.4 into Python directories within Workbench hierarchy:

_ssl.pyd, libcrypto-1_1.dll, libssl-1_1.dll from \Path\to\<Python>\DLLs into \Path\to\<Workbench>\python\DLLs

Sorry, I can't check, but, perhaps, lines 199, 200 in mysql-workbench/PrepareOutputDir.cmd:

	xcopy /i /s /y /d %EXT_LIB_DIR%\libcrypto-3-x64.dll %TARGET_DIR%\.
	xcopy /i /s /y /d %EXT_LIB_DIR%\libssl-3-x64.dll %TARGET_DIR%\.

to be replaced by:

	xcopy /i /s /y /d %EXT_LIB_DIR%\libcrypto-1_1.dll %TARGET_DIR%\.
	xcopy /i /s /y /d %EXT_LIB_DIR%\libssl-1_1.dll %TARGET_DIR%\.
	xcopy /i /s /y /d %EXT_LIB_DIR%\_ssl.pyd %TARGET_DIR%\.
