mullvad-browser: remove unnecessary auto-update policies

Browse source 
This came up in Firefox as
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2042197, where policies
caused different behavior to be active (also see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/524793). We should not observe any
such differences, but this indicates that the policy is unnecessary for
disabling the updater.

Tor/Mullvad Browser have supported is-packaged-app for a long time
(https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/merge_requests/985),
and it's preferred by Firefox (i.e. it actually has meaning there:
https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/search?q=is-packaged-app&path=&case=false&regexp=false), so we switch from `system-install` to that one. This shouldn't
change anything else user visible.

This removes the "Your browser is being managed by your organization."
text from about:preferences and changes about:policies from showing this
singular policy to "The Enterprise Policies service is inactive." (the
intended upstream behavior), so this seems like a win for clarity.

Tested by downgrading the version in the derivation, and seeing no
update UI appear, either in the hamburger menu in the toolbar or under
Help > About Mullvad Browser.
