Summary: In our organization, Flipper is distributed in a version controlled way. As a result, we do not want users to manually update or receive prompts to update when a new version is available. There is already a `--updater` flag in the command line arguments for flipper.exe, but it isn't piped through. This change pipes it through and disables all update related UI when `--no-updater` is passed in. ## Changelog Support --updater and --no-updater options for flipper.exe Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/flipper/pull/4277 Test Plan: Ran `yarn build --win` in flipper/desktop, and launched flipper.exe from flipper/dist/win-unpacked with the `--updater`, `--no-updater` and no flags and ensured the proper behavior was observed (update UI shows by default or when `--updater` is specified, and doesn't show when `--no-updater` is specified).

Flipper Desktop
This folder contains everything to run the Flipper 'Desktop', that is, the UI which you use to interact with the device / app under debug.
Packages provided here:
- flipper-common: utilities & types shared between client, server, flipper-plugin
- flipper-server-core: all device & client management goes in here. Basically flipper's backend
- flipper-ui-core: all UI goes in here, as far as it doesn't depend on Electron
- flipper-ui-electron: the Electron app, will load server-core and ui-core, and glue them together, providing implementations for some electron * specific stuff like dialgos
- flipper-server: A node process hosting flipper-server-core, that can be connected to over websockets. And probably can serve a browser version of the UI as well.
- flipper-ui-browser: thin wrapper around flipper-ui-core, providing some browser specific behavior / stubs.
- flipper-dump: (might remove later), but want to hack a quick and dirt flipper dump in here, as alternative way to test flipper-server-core.
- flipper-plugin: The flipper SDK used by plugins. Exposes all API's that can be used by plugins
- pkg: CLI tool to manage building flipper plugins
- pkg-lib
- plugin-lib
- babel-transformer
- doctor
- eslint-plugin-flipper
