Use a local UpdateFirstSeenAt timestamp instead of UpdatePublishedOn
The existing implementation that used the UpdatePublishedOn doesn't work
well with other AU enterprise policies such as stop AU, target version,
etc. This change will help all those scenarios to work and will make
the co-existence of policies more intuitive for the enterprise admin.
Basically, these scenarios bring out a flaw in the assumption I had
made earlier. i.e. we had assumed that if an update was pushed 5 months
ago, we never have to scatter that because most machines would have
been picked up the update by then. With the other AU policies like
stop AU or version pinning, this assumption is not true and scattering
is still relevant in these cases.
This new UpdateFirstSeenAt timestamp is the first time a Chrome device
hears of an update from Omaha that's eligble to be applied to the device
based on all policies except scattering. It'll use this timestamp instead
of the UpdatePublishedOn from the rule (which is no longer needed) and
everything else remains the same. This UpdateFirstSeenAt value will
also be persisted so that the waiting period can be satisfied over reboots
when an update is not ready to be applied yet.
This timestamp will be cleared (only) after an update has been successfully
applied and the device is waiting to be rebooted.
Also contains a minor fix for avoiding the crash mentioned in 32797.
