Looks mostly good to me. I guess we could refactor
`Navigator::GetUserAgent()` a bit but we can leave that our for now and
tackle that when upstreaming this patch.
Please adjust the WinXP in the commit message and the title given that you
delete `general.useragent.override` from the prefs we ship but have the
bug fixed nevertheless. Maybe "Bug 26146: Spoof HTTP User-Agent header for
desktop platforms"? (or something like that). Oh, and that's not only
JavaScript on/off related. The risk we are writing the patch for is that
the OS is collected by any server Tor Browser is talking to, irrespective
of your JS settings.
