iTerm2 built in updater should be disabled

Port: iTerm2

Description (last modified by markemer (Mark Anderson))

iTerm2's built in updater is active, and even defaults to check in its preferences. Since apps installed via MacPorts should really only be updated via MacPorts, this could result in inconsistencies if someone used the builtin updater; so it should be disabled and if possible, hidden.

Ok, so it seems like key below controls the sparkle updates. Setting it to 0 should kill the popup boxes. I'm going to make sure it works and then add it to the portfile.

This won't work as this defaults key is only for the user profile, not root. Still the best thing is to stub the update functions and disable/remove the checkbox and the menu entry.
