Description

Found while testing https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/32280 Brave VPN is in an unconnected state in an upgrade profile

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clean profile 1.58.116
  2. Enable Brave VPN (via staging using account.bravesoftware.com)
  3. Brave VPN is in connected state in 1.58.116
  4. Install 1.59.101 on top of 1.58.x
  5. Open brave://settings/help and click on Relaunch button
  6. Confirmed that brave is updated to 1.59.101
  7. Brave VPN is NOT in connected state in 1.59.101

Important: If we auto upgrade the profile to 1.59.x the issue is NOT reproducible, the issue is reproducible only when we install any specific 1.59.x version on top of 1.58.x

We need to stop vpn and re-register the vpn service if wireguard is in use at the time of upgrade. We discussed this with @bsclifton and preferred that the installer should throw an error if vpn is connected. We want to give the user the option to manually disable vpn before upgrading.
