Description
Add registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/JavaSoft/KernelBackgroundDownload.  When this REG_DWORD type key is set to 0 , the background download should not start automatically.  This is needed for testing purposes.
In DownloadManager.java we should check the value of KernelDownloadUrl from registry in startBackgroundDownloadWithBroker method.  Also, the order of checking for bundles download location override should be as follows:
kernel.download.url system property
KernelDownloadUrl registry key

Comments
EVALUATION

The registry key is of type REG_DWORD and should be set to 0 if you'd like to disable the background download.  If the value of the key is 1 or key is not specified, the background download will start.

Just verified with the PIT build that the background download is not starting if the key is set to 0.
