 Currently we set `var/torbrowser_update_channel` to `default` for the
 nightly builds.

 I see that Mozilla is using `nightly` for their nightly builds.

 Maybe we could change it to `nightly` too.

 It is possible however that changing this channel name has some effects on
 the build. One of them is the filename of the file containing the mar
 signing key, in `toolkit/mozapps/update/updater/moz.build`. However from a
 quick look, I didn't see other important changes that would be caused by
 using `nightly` as `MOZ_UPDATE_CHANNEL`.
