1797888 - Move AppUpdater.jsm from browser into toolkit/mozapps/update

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Application Update, task, P3)

Description

[Rob Lemley [:rjl]]

As discussed in #install-update, there is nothing browser-specific in AppUpdater.jsm that would prevent it from moving to Toolkit. This would benefit Thunderbird updater work since there is now a near-identical copy of it in comm/mail/modules.

This was also one of the small reasons that the background update process is currently restricted to Firefox. But, rather like MSIX packaging, background updates aren't specific to Firefox.

Thunderbird now has an identical copy of AppUpdater.jsm in its repository. Moving it into
toolkit will make ongoing maintenance easier.
