Subject: [PATCH 12/14] legacy sanitizing prefs
In FF128 these were used to migrate to
- clearOnShutdown to clearOnShutdown_v2
- cpd to clearHistory
They are then no longer used.
The migration can be checked with
- privacy.sanitize.clearOnShutdown.hasMigratedToNewPrefs2
- privacy.sanitize.cpd.hasMigratedToNewPrefs2
Note: in FF136 there was another migration, where it changes the `ToNewPrefs2` to false
- privacy.sanitize.clearOnShutdown.hasMigratedToNewPrefs3
- privacy.sanitize.cpd.hasMigratedToNewPrefs3
AFAICT, cpd.hasMigrated* doesn't migrate until you open the clear history dialog.

+/*** [SECTION 8500]: TELEMETRY
+ Arkenfox does not consider Firefox telemetry to be a privacy or security concern - comments below.
+ But since most arkenfox users prefer it disabled, we'll do that rather than cause overrides.
+
+ Opt-out
+ - Telemetry is essential: a browser engine is a _very_ large complex beast costing billions to maintain
+ - Opt-in telemetry _does not_ work and results in data that is unrepresentative and may be misleading
+ Choice
+ - Every new profile on first use provides data collection/use policy and the abillty to opt-out
+ - It can be disabled at any time (Settings>Privacy & Security>Data Collection and Use)
+ Data
+ - no PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
+ - can be viewed in about:telemetry
+ - uses Prio [1][2][3], Glean [4], Oblivious HTTP [5][6]
