Disable Auto Update Check startup

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
we would like to rollout draw.IO in our environment and don't want to users to see that there is a new version available. This would limit the support requests.

Describe the solution you'd like
Disable the Update for a new version check on startup. This setting need to be defined on a machine level.

• a registry key in HKLM
• a config file in the installation dir
• a startup option drawio.exe --noupdatecheck

This can be achieved via an environment variable
DRAWIO_DISABLE_UPDATE=true

24.5.1 adds the startup parameter --disable-update.

Thanks David for the update. The startup parameter does work in v24.5.1+ . Do you have any recommendation/leads on how this startup parameter can be defaulted in the package for macos or something similar to environment variables in windows that can be used for mac users ? thanks
