Drew Willcoxon 0900dca6df Bug 1741291 - Add a doc for Firefox Suggest client telemetry with changelogs per probe. r=nanj
This pulls out the Firefox Suggest-specific telemetry from telemetry.rst into
its own doc. It also adds changelogs for each probe per Rebecca's request. I
also reworded some things and added an .rstcheck.cfg file to ignore a couple of
rstcheck (lint) warnings. See:
https://github.com/myint/rstcheck#ignore-specific-errors

Address Bar
===========
This document describes the implementation of Firefox's address bar, also known
as the quantumbar or urlbar. The address bar was also called the awesomebar
until Firefox 68, when it was substantially rewritten.
The address bar is a specialized search access point that aggregates data from
several different sources, including:
* Places (Firefox's history and bookmarks system)
* Search engines (including search suggestions)
* WebExtensions
* Open tabs
Where to Start

If you want a high level, nontechnical summary of how the address bar works,

Codebase
