    Bug 32418: Add a configure flag to load policies only from the local policies.json
    
    Add a configuration flag to make Enterprise Policies mechanism only
    consult a policies.json file (avoiding the Windows Registry, macOS's
    file system attributes, and /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json on
    other OS).
    
    We avoid system policies because their proxy settings override our
    preferences, however updates can be disabled only with enterprise
    policies, so we allow them from a local file as a trade off.
