Add a command line argument to disable message boxes.  This is useful to
extension developers who want to package extensions as part of a build script
and aren't there to click the message box.

R=aa,jackson
BUG=14732
TEST=Pack an extension with the --no-message-box flag and notice that there is no message box.

Only thing with this is that it relies on using MsgBox (on windows) to silence
the dialog. Wouldn't it be better to have --pack-extension-silent that skips the
dialog no matter how it is implemented, cross-platform?

Sure, we could do that.  How do the other platforms notify the user on success /
failure?

I tried it and it works as advertised. LGTM

I think other platforms can use the command line. This workaround is primarily
useful on Windows, which can't do that.

On a side note, should we try to reuse the existing --noerrdialogs flag in
base_switches?  These two flags sound very similar to me.

Yeah, it seems like we should merge these two.  The particular use case for this
change was a success dialog, so that flag didn't quite seem right.  Maybe a less
judgmental name would work for both?
