vesktop: add disable update checking patch 

As discussed in [NixOS/nixpkgs#281669](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/281669#issuecomment-1899451746), it might be more beneficial to disable the update checker
and prevent the users from being annoyed to update to a version that's
not yet built in Nixpkgs.

A builtin option for disabling the update checker does exist, however
it's buried very deeply within Vesktop settings and normal users may not
ever be aware of its existence — better to do it in Nixpkgs itself
