[Bug 1622078] [NEW] Option to hide an update and not show it again

[Dan Dascalescu]

Public bug reported:

For updates the user is not interested in (or suspects might introduce
problems), it would be great to have an option to hide them, so that
Software Update will stop notifying the user of their existence.

Windows Update has this feature, if you right click an update and choose
the Hide option: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/magazine/ff382716.aspx

In Software Updater, it's unclear what happens if I deselect an update
and close the window. Will I be prompted next time the updater checks
for updates?
