The additional terms are based on the Doom 3 license which is Debian refers to as `GPL-3+-with-id-software-additional-terms`, which is Debian DFSG [1] (The Debian Free Software Guidelines) approved and which is therefore suitable for Debian `main`. Whonix made applied minimal changes to it: * Rewrite `The Doom 3 BFG Edition GPL Source Code` to the more common `this program` which is used throughout the GPL. * Added a "trump clause" [2], in other words, any conflicts or disputes between the additional terms and the GPLv3 shall be resolved in favor of the GPLv3 by adding `Notwithstanding any other provision of this License` (as mentioned in GPL FAQ [3]) at the beginning of the additional terms.

• Make update-torbrowser work with new multi-lang builds As of v12.0a4 Tor Browser is shipped as a multi-language archive and language-specific archives are no longer available. This patch makes this new multi-lang version install properly but does not handle starting Tor Browser with the correct locale. I'm not entirely sure how the locale should be handled. Is it good enough to just use the system language (which Tor Browser now does by default) or should some other solution be used? If the system language is good enough, I'd suggest just merging this change as is and once v12 stable is released TB_LANG support can be removed. (Thanks to Peter Gerber!)

• Support --update-only flag. When the Tor Browser is already up-to-date, the current tb-updater will still ask users if they want to download and reinstall it. With this `--update-only` flag turned on, the tb-updater will exit with a message like "Skip downloading: current Tor Browser 11.5 is already up-to-date". This flag is especially useful when tb-updater is run regularly to keep the Tor Browser up-to-date because it saves user from spending time and resources downloading an already up-to-date Tor Browser. (Thanks to irykoon!)
