Make text stand out in about:tbupdate

All text seems very plain and normal it doesn't stand out as an update at all and I can see someone simply closing it or moving to another page without realising an update has taken place.

One step would be to bold the text: "Tor Browser has been updated." "Changelog:"

Secondly may not be related, but on tor browser startup the url bar is empty and it doesn't say whether it is about:tor or about:tbupdate why is this?

Replying to cypherpunks:

It is common practice to hide the URL for built-in pages. This makes it easier for users to enter a different URL and also hides ugly names like about:tbupdate from users.

We went ahead and made some text bold as was suggested. We also fixed #19835 (moved). Please review:

Looks good to me. I applied the patch to tor-browser-45.3.0esr-6.5-1 (commit 219b21731bec577b8797a8914612f0ae9e55d1ad). We can backport that to the stable branch if all works out as intended.
