 confirmed that configuring a comma-separated list for
 `ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS` works correctly? It looks like it is supported,
 but it would be very bad to upgrade people to an alpha that cannot handle
 any future updates ;)

 So I tried updating 9.5a1 to 9.5a2, after changing `update-settings.ini`
 to set `ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=torbrowser-torproject-alpha`, and as
 expected the updated failed.

 When setting `ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=torbrowser-torproject-alpha
 ,torbrowser-torproject-release` in `update-settings.ini` the update
 worked.
