#28842: TBA: Set new preferences after update

------------------------------------------+------------------------
The current implementation of distribution preferences is intended for use
only during the initial installation/initialization. Specifically, it
should only be set soon-after a new gecko profile is created.
We're currently abusing this feature, and trying to set new preferences
after we install a new version of the app (updating). Unfortunately, this
overwrites any user-modified preferences, too. We should extend the
current implementation so it does what we want but it shouldn't make
surprising changes when the app restarts or updates (such as reverting
user-modified prefs).
