Fixes: #21254

This PR prevents a 500 on the home page when reading the latest_release cache entry fails to unpickle after dependency upgrades (e.g. packaging>=26 with a value cached under <26).

Summary of changes

Wrap cache.get('latest_release') in a try/except during the superuser release check
On failure, log at debug level, delete the stale cache key, and continue as if no cached release is available

This keeps the UI working and allows the cache to be repopulated normally by housekeeping/release checks.
