A small flood of overdue updates

AFAICT there's an issue (maybe a regression) with AMO that causes Waterfox =
on
FreeBSD to not receive updates from AMO, if an update is in _some_ way
version-specific.=20

=E2=80=93 allowed about:addons to find around twenty updates that were prev=
iously not

Tested with 56.0.4.72_1.=20

I assume that the workaround will be equally effective with 56.1.0, which I=
 see
has been (experimentally) ported :-)

Edge cases
----------

Where an extension that's served by AMO is _truly_ platform specific, it wi=
ll
be inappropriate to install a version for Linux, but in my experience those
cases are rare enough to warrant implementing this workaround.

Maybe hard-code that to Linux as well? My gut feeling is, don't.
