Support blocking extensions so there is a way for the maintainers of
the remote repository to notify the user if one of their installed
extensions blocked along with a reason for blocking.
Blocked extensions cannot be installed from the preferences or by
dropping a URL.
When an installed & blocked extension is found:
- An icon int the status bar shows an alert,
clicking on the icon shows the blocked extensions.
- The extensions preferences show a warning.
- The extensions & add-ons UI shows an alert icon
and "details" section shows the reason.
Details:
- Blocked & installed extensions are shown first in the installed
extensions panel.
- The internal "install" logic prevents downloading & installing
blocked extensions.
- Blocked extensions can still be downloaded & installed from disk.
- The "list" command includes an error message if any installed
extensions are blocked.
- The "server-generate" command can optionally take a configuration
file that includes the blocklist for the generated JSON.
