Nextcloud: disable the web-based upgrader

IMHO it’s about time to disable the web-based upgrader,

either by replacing /usr/share/nextcloud/updater/index.php with something that explains to user to be patience and wait until nethserver releases an update.
_ OR _
simply set 'upgrade.disable-web' => true, in nextcloud’s config.php with this result:

Whoa, I didn’t know it was possible.
We should try do it on next release!

RTFM (search for upgrade)
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#nextcloud-verifications

Or in the sample configuration:

github.com

nextcloud/server/blob/f14b8aa34bfb9f7af7b23cfecc09e2fb8f604c1b/config/config.sample.php#L1845


* to performance degradation and large log files on busy instance.
*
* Thus enabling this in production for longer periods of time is not recommended
* or should be used together with the ``log.condition`` setting.
*/
'filelocking.debug' => false,
/**
* Disable the web based updater
*/
'upgrade.disable-web' => false,
/**
* Set this Nextcloud instance to debugging mode
*
* Only enable this for local development and not in production environments
* This will disable the minifier and outputs some additional debug information
*
* Defaults to ``false``
*/
'debug' => false,

Do not know if it is water-tight , definitely a good start.
