------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In #19316 we changed the update url from `update_2` to `update_3`, to
 force Windows users to go through the 6.5.2 version, and warn them if they
 don't have SSE support. As this does not affect Linux and OSX users, we
 should add some redirects to update them directly to the new versions.

 We should do that for the `release` channel. For the `alpha` channel, we
 don't need to exclude the Windows users from the redirect as we don't have
 any alpha version that can detect SSE support, so we can redirect all
 `update_2` urls to `update_3`.
