[Mozilla Enterprise] Disable automatic Update and Update Notifications

[Timo Pietilä]

I don't quite understand that logic, doesn't disabling app update using 
json -file create exactly same problem? Or is the problem in 
non-corporate users disabling the update check using preferences (and 
json -file being pain in the to get correctly done too hard for lusers 
to make)?
