User Story
As an enterprise administrator, I want to prevent users from configuring application update settings so that update behaviour can be managed centrally and consistently across enterprise installations. Acceptance criteria: - A new enterprise policy, DisableUpdateSettings, exists to disable user access to application update settings. - The Settings → General → Updates section is hidden when the policy is active. - Users cannot change the application update behaviour through the Settings UI when the policy is active. - The policy does not disable application updates themselves; enterprise-managed update behaviour continues to be determined by the existing update policies and deployment configuration. - Policy tests cover enabled, disabled, and default behaviour. - Browser tests cover the Settings UI behaviour. - Manual testing is completed for the affected Settings flows. - Lint and relevant test suites pass. - Documentation is updated in Thunderbird’s enterprise preferences documentation, including the enterprise preferences page (https://github.com/thunderbird/enterprise-docs) and the relevant policy documentation.

Add an enterprise policy named DisableUpdateSettings that prevents users from changing application update settings in Thunderbird. (Watch out, the policies need to be in alphabetic order in the Policies file and the json)
When DisableUpdateSettings is enabled:
- Settings → General → Updates section should be hidden
- Users cannot configure automatic or manual application update behaviour from Settings
- Enterprise-managed update configuration remains in effect
This policy is intended to control access to the Settings UI only. It should not itself disable application updates. Existing policies such as AppAutoUpdate, AppUpdatePin, AppUpdateURL, and DisableAppUpdate continue to control application update behaviour as appropriate.
