This workaround had been justified by a compatibility issue in Chromium, present in Electron versions less than 13.5.0 or less than 14.0.0.

The flag shouldn't be needed anymore, now that Pulsar is on Electron 30. It'll be good to turn sandboxing back on, for whatever good it does, and also to be back on a default setting again. The less workarounds, the better.

One instance (possibly the most important instance, at a glance?) of this flag had already been removed from script/electron-builder.js in #1367, but it doesn't hurt to be thorough. Shouldn't, at least.
