The feature requires a temp directory in `wp-content/` to function. As part of this feature, a new Health Check is added to ensure that the WordPress content directory is found and writable. On WPVIP updates are managed via GitHub and `wp-content` is read-only so this check will always fail with a critical error stating “Unable to Locate WordPress Content Directory”. This change removes the `update_temp_backup_writable` check from the Health Checks page by default to avoid the confusing, and non-applicable critical health check warning.

The check assumes self-managed and writeable filesystem. This check was disabled because it is not relevant on the WordPress VIP Platform and gives a bogus result.
