[Mozilla Enterprise] system wide langpacks

[Mike Kaply]

This should actually work on the ESR, just not anywhere else:

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/10/31/firefox-to-discontinue-sideloaded-extensions/
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/03/10/support-for-extension-sideloading-has-ended/

If that's not the case, let me know and I'll check into it.

My recommendation, though,  is that you put them in the
distribution/extensions directory. Note they have to be named the same as
the ID of the language pack.

So for instance:

langpack-de at firefox.mozilla.org.xpi

This should be future proof.

Mike
