It was dead code before, but I revived it and made it actually work.

I also would like to deprecate livecheck.check and rename it to
livecheck.type in the same way for consistency with other phases. This
will affect a lot of ports, but I think we can simply work that out with
one mass-change after 1.8.0 is released.

Anything else to consider while I am at it?
