[Bug 1065269] [NEW] Close update-manager automatically after updates have been applied

[Jendrik Seipp]

Public bug reported:

In my opinion it would be a usability improvement if the update manager
would close automatically after updates have been installed. After a
successful update there is no useful information in the window, but the
user has to navigate back to the application and has to manually close
it. Instead, the update manager should only stay open if errors occur
during installation that the user has to be informed about.

Previously there was a "Close when finished" checkbox in the update-
dialog. Defaulting to closing the window is a better solution than
bringing the checkbox back, in my opinion.
