#3554: TBB should not disable addon updates until Thandy works
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------

--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
It is pretty dangerous to block addon updates if we have no way to update
(or even inform) users whose TBBs are out of date. Auto-updating things
like Torbutton will at least keep TBB users' fingerprints more in sync,
making it less obvious when they run outdated, vulnerable versions..
For other Thandy-stopgaps, see #2285 and the tickets mentioned in the
comments there.
