Remote config

Remote config enables us to do the following with the mobile apps, without needing to release a new version:

Globally turn off the whole app (i.e. kill switch)
Turn off individual features
Force users to update their app if they are running too low a version
Recommend (but not force) users to update their app if they are running too low a version
Configure other general parameters for the app

Instructions for updating remote config (the runbook) is available here
