1313648 - Add support for the previousVersion property to runtime.onInstalled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Matthew Wein [:mattw]]

From the documentation on MDN and developer.chrome.com, the `previousVersion` property indicates the previous version of the extension that was just updated, and should only be present if the reason value is "update".

Should this also work with temporary loaded extensions? I loaded an extension temporarily with the nightly from 2017-03-15 and "previousVersion" was undefined.

P.S. I reloaded the extension, so the update case was triggered.

I've updated the compat data here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/onInstalled
Marking as dev-doc-complete, but let me know if we need anything else here.
