Actually, I think my real question is "What is the intended way for
developers to keep their development environment up-to-date?" I don't think
that way should require a developer to answer questions, because the
answers presumably haven't changed since the last time they answered them.
If the intended way is `mach bootstrap`, then I think `mach bootstrap`
should have an option to skip the questions[*]. If `mach bootstrap` is only
intended to run once when setting up a new development environment, then
maybe there should be a `mach tune-up` command or something like that.

I'm happy to file bugs for whichever is the case, but I'm not sure which
one it is.

[*] When using `./mach bootstrap --settings ./mozconfig`, I get: `The
bootstrap command does not accept the arguments: --settings ./mozconfig`.
When using `./mach --settings ./mozconfig bootstrap`, I get the questions.
