Comment:

 The patch here caused a regression.  People on #tor are reporting that
 "update needed" is shown by the browser after installing the latest
 package.  The problem is caused by a mismatch between the
 torbrowser.version preference value and the version reported by the web
 site.

 On Mac OS and Linux, the version used to include -$(ARCH_TYPE).  Mark and
 I accidentally omitted this when we made the changes for this bug.

 In the short run, someone may want to change the RecommendedTBBVersions
 list (remove last component of MacOS and Linux versions).

 In the long run, is it desirable to include the architecture?
