1830992 - Replace update_rnp.sh with a `mach vendor` config

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Build Config, task)

Description

mach vendor is how Firefox handles updates to vendored third party code in mozilla-central. With RNP 0.17, I expect that the update_rnp.sh script will break yet again. Time to switch.

mach vendor is not perfect, but it's better than a shoddy bash script.

Instead of generating a version.h file for librnp in advance, generate it
at build time. This will result in RNP_VERSION_FULL having less information
than previously - no timestamp and no git revision hash. Since Thunderbird
generally sticks to release versions now that RNP is stable, this should not
be a big problem.

If MZLA does apply patches to RNP, version.txt should be updated accordingly
so that the patch is reflected in version strings.
