 I have a use case that requires setting `app.update.enabled` to false.

 This mostly works as I expect, however the UI element for forcing a manual
 update check in the `Help->About Tor Browser` dialog still remains visible
 and functional.  If the updater is disabled, the UI elements associated
 with it should be hidden.

 On a side note, it would be nice if the built in updater could be force
 disabled at launch time via an env var as well, for those most special of
 snowflakes.
