### Disable “WP-Content Writable” test from Health Checks

WordPress 6.3 adds the ability for failed plugin and theme updates to be automatically
rolled back. 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.

### Disable “Available disk space” check added in WordPress 6.3

WordPress 6.3 adds a “Available disk space” check in the site health section. 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.
