betterbird: lock the ask to be the default mail client off, so it never shows at a start (hq issue 345)
Betterbird's own default asks at every start with a window to become the default for mail, news, feeds and
calendar files. The policy locks mail.shell.checkDefaultClient off, which wins over a profile's own value, and
betterbird_check says when a node would still ask.

// What the mesh installs (novox/hq ADR 0316 §1–§9, to-be 56 §1–§3): Betterbird from its pinned upstream release
// in /opt/betterbird, where the community package betterbird-bin put it, so Betterbird keeps choosing the same
// profile; the enterprise policy in its distribution directory, which turns Betterbird's own updater off and
// installs Owl into every profile from the xpi the mesh placed beside it; and a defaults file naming the
// system's spelling dictionaries. The tools read these files and say what they find: the version against the
// pin and the newest published build, whether the policy is placed, Owl's version against its pin.
//
// **The pin on the machine is what the mesh placed.** The manifest pins the release and the xpi by sha256; the
// node-engine places exactly those bytes, so the version in /opt/betterbird/application.ini (when the mesh
// placed it) and the version in the placed xpi are the pins. The community package's own copy is said as
// such, and the switch from it waits for the operator (ADR 0316 §4).
