Upgrade to Tor Browser based on Firefox ESR60

Relevant upstream tickets: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&keywords=~ff60-esr&max=256

Foreseeable issues:

  • See subtasks.
  • Likely there will be a non-XUL (or system add-on) Tor Launcher to migrate to.
  • Likely Torbutton will be installed in a different manner. XXX: reference needed
  • sandboxing improvements require unprivileged user namespaces to be enabled + some AppArmor tweaks: is the risk/benefit worth it? this does not have to be solved as part of this ticket but it’s something to keep in mind and if not dealt with here, a follow-up ticket shall be created

Feature Branch: feature/15023-tor-browser-8, torbrowser-launcher:feature/15023-tor-browser-8
