LGTM and works as expected 👍
@ivan-ottinger, I've added STU-1202 as a future follow-up to run a regular background task that updates the bundled WordPress installation. This add robustness.

FYI, it's expected for the E2E tests to not pass. We're currently blocked by #2299 on that front |

Proposed Changes
latestWordPress version in the online modeThis PR proposal is to use the bundled WordPress for the online mode as well (not just offline mode). This way we will shorten the site creation time from approx. 37 seconds to 24 seconds (35% speed up).
One disadvantage in this approach I see is that WordPress can be released in the time between two Studio releases. This would mean users who create a new site in that period would not get the most latest WordPress version (as the bundled would be used instead).
Considering our frequent Studio releases and the performance improvement for everyone we can get, I think this is a good trade-off.
Testing Instructions
npm install && npm start.latestWordPress version selected.6.7).Creating a site using the bundled WordPress version should be generally faster.
