Subject: [PATCH] disable sparkle updater in debug builds

debug builds carry the placeholder cfbundleversion of 1, so sparkle
compares it against the appcast and offers every published release as
an update, showing a downgrade prompt on dev builds. skip creating the
updater controller entirely under debug; release builds are unchanged.
