#24945: Tor Browser design doc says it whitelists flash and gnash as plugins

The Tor Browser design doc says "we also patch the Firefox source code to
prevent the load of any plugins except for Flash and Gnash. Even for Flash
and Gnash, we also patch Firefox to prevent loading them into the address
space until they are explicitly enabled."
If this is so, we should probably change Tor Browser to just prevent all
plugins, including Flash and Gnash.
And if it is no longer so, we should fix the wrong statement in the design
doc.
Noticed in #10885.
