SPM12: only Matlab 2017a is supported, but repo website only hosts 2018a

See original GitHub issue

When installing SPM, http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/download/restricted/utopia/dev/ does not host a precompiled R2017a SPM at the moment. However, neurodocker complains it only supports R2017a. See below for a MWE:

docker run --rm kaczmarj/neurodocker:v0.3.2 generate -b neurodebian -p apt --spm version=12 matlab_version=R2018a
