MB 71: Set the updater base URL to Mullvad domain

This commit disables the about:login page and removes the "Login and
Password" section of about:preferences.

We do not do anything to the real password manager of Firefox, that is
in toolkit: it contains C++ parts that make it difficult to actually
prevent it from being built..

Finally, we modify the the function that opens about:login to report an
error in the console so that we can quickly get a backtrace to the code
that tries to use it.

Also:
#57: Purge unneeded about: pages

We install a few addons from the distribution directory, but they are
not automatically enabled for PBM mode.
This commit modifies the code that installs them to also add the PBM
permission to the known ones.

MB 284: Customize logs in about:debugging.

Bug 42532: Use the HomePage module for new identity checks.

This component adds a new Security Level toolbar button which visually
indicates the current global security level via icon (as defined by the
extensions.torbutton.security_slider pref), a drop-down hanger with a
short description of the current security level, and a new section in
the about:preferences#privacy page where users can change their current
security level. In addition, the hanger and the preferences page will
show a visual warning when the user has modified prefs associated with
the security level and provide a one-click 'Restore Defaults' button to
get the user back on recommended settings.

This hides it from both the toolbar and the unified extensions panel.

We also hide the unified-extension-button if the panel would be empty:
not including the NoScript button when it is hidden. As a result, this
will be hidden by default until a user installs another extension (or
shows the NoScript button and unpins it).

Bug 40253: Explicitly allow NoScript in Private Browsing mode.

Remove the items not compatible with our features (such as history) from
the migration wizard.

On Linux, allow to specify an alternative home directory, since we
usually change $HOME in our startup script.

Bug 42537: Move base-browser.ftl to toolkit.

Firefox strings use { -brand-product-name }.
As a result, it seems that the fork is recommending extensions, whereas
AMO curators are doing that.
So, we replace the strings with custom ones that clarify that Mozilla is
recommending them.

We assign the strings with JS because our translation backend does not
support Fluent attributes, yet, but once it does, we should switch to
them, instead.

Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1825033

MOZ_SOURCE_URL is created by combining MOZ_SOURCE_REPO and
MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET.
But the code takes for granted that it refers to a Hg instance, so it
combines them as `$MOZ_SOURCE_REPO/rev/$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET`.
With this commit, we change this logic to combine them to create a URL
that is valid for GitLab.
$MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET needs to be a commit hash, not a branch or a tag.
If that is needed, we could use /-/tree/, instead of /-/commit/.

Bug 26048: potentially confusing "restart to update" message

Within the update doorhanger, remove the misleading message that mentions
that windows will be restored after an update is applied, and replace the
"Restart and Restore" button label with an existing
"Restart to update Tor Browser" string.

Bug 28885: notify users that update is downloading

Add a "Downloading Base Browser update" item which appears in the
hamburger (app) menu while the update service is downloading a MAR
file. Before this change, the browser did not indicate to the user
that an update was in progress, which is especially confusing in
Tor Browser because downloads often take some time. If the user
clicks on the new menu item, the about dialog is opened to allow
the user to see download progress.

As part of this fix, the update service was changed to always show
update-related messages in the hamburger menu, even if the update
was started in the foreground via the about dialog or via the
"Check for Tor Browser Update" toolbar menu item. This change is
consistent with the Tor Browser goal of making sure users are
informed about the update process.

Removed #28885 parts of this patch which have been uplifted to Firefox.
