Description

Now that we've added a setting to disable downloading updates (#2632) it might be worthwhile auto detecting when on a metered connection and then suggesting enabling the setting to the user. Would help with discovery of the setting and help prevent users from getting burned by our updates.

Thumbs up this if you'd want to see it!

Start by reading issue #2632 to understand the existing setting that disables update downloads. Then determine how metered connections should be detected and when users should be prompted; done means the behavior is defined and implemented without unwanted update downloads.
