The `hardened` channel for Tor Browser is going away. The sandbox will
need updates for this.
Easy changes:
* Make it impossible to install the `hardened` channel.
* The selfrando specific "disable AESNI in NSS" workaround should apply
to the `alpha` channel.
Release after the `hardened` removal:
* Remove ASAN specific workarounds.
* Purge the remnants of `hardened` except for the migration path
(Can/should be done immediately if the migration path for sandboxed users
is a reinstall).
How the actual migration from `hardened` to `alpha` is handled on the
sandboxing end is currently an open question. The easy thing to do would
be to force a reinstall, but people probably don't realize that a
`reinstall` will obliterate all existing preferences and bookmarks. The
more involved fix would be to modify the updater to handle channel
migration.
