I also cleaned up browser_aboutwelcome_multistage_mr.js so that each task is
idempotent and does not pollute the state of other tasks (e.g., by leaving
prefs set).

I don't see any reason to keep this under the same namespace as the other former `privacySegmentation` prefs - but perhaps I'm missing something here.

We'll be defaulting Felt Privacy features to enabled, and allowing them to be disabled by Nimbus (primarily for a holdback study).

This was oversight. In background tasks, I took some care to provide
the snapshot of the default profile's targeting state to the Firefox
Messaging System, but it also needs to be provided to Nimbus to filter
experiments directly.
For expedience, I provide an extra targeting context object to
`ExperimentManager.onStartup`.
The targeting contexts for Nimbus proper and Firefox Messaging System
are somewhat independent; that's why the triggering context remains in
the invocation of `sendTriggerMessage`.

The fallbackPref was previously supplying both default values (from the default
branch) and override values (from the user branch), which means prefs could
override experiment values. Now the fallbackPref solely supplies fallback
values (from user or default branch).

Nimbus features can now specify a list of applications they support (defaulting
to firefox-desktop). Enrollment for a given recipe will only occur if the
application supports all the features listed in the experiment. This allows
Firefox Desktop and the background task service to have different sets of
features, which prevents Firefox from enrolling in backgroundTaskMessage
experiments and the background task service from enrolling in experiments
intended for Firefox Desktop.

This commit does several things:
1. It configures a new Nimbus feature and corresponding message group
`backgroundTaskMessage`.
2. It configures `Firefox Messaging Experiments` to use the new
Nimbus feature in background tasks. The existing Remote Settings
collection `nimbus-desktop-experiments` continues to be used.
These configurations are achieved by setting preferences in
`backgroundtasks_browser.js`, which is applied on top of
`firefox.js` prefs by the preference service. These preferences
apply to every background task.
3. It implements functions for enabling Nimbus and the Firefox
Messaging System (and Messaging Experiments) that can be used by
arbitrary background tasks.
It is assumed (but not enforced here) that such tasks will use
non-ephemeral (persistent) profiles, so that Remote Settings
incremental sync, Nimbus bucketing, and Messaging System message
limits, function as expected.
4. It adds a new `message` background task specifically for testing
background task messages. Invoke the testing task with command
lines like `firefox --backgroundtask message ...`.
To ease testing, the framework accepts `--url about:studies?...`
arguments from the Experimenter Web UI to explicitly opt-in to
specific experiment branches.
This task is complicated because it is intended both for QA to
manually invoke, but also to be used by automated tests.
Eventually the existing `backgroundupdate` task will use the new
functions, just as the testing `message` task does.
