#16014: Windows: staged update fails if Meek is enabled

On Windows, if Meek is enabled, the updater fails while trying to copy
files to the staged "update applied" directory. Failure occurs because
the file Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.meek-http-
helper/parent.lock is in use. The updater will fallback to an unstaged
update and users will be prompted to restart to apply the update. This
works but a large updated/ directory is left behind which will not be
deleted until another update is staged.
We can fix this problem by skipping this parent.lock file inside the
updater when copying files.
