It was observed that FHR was sending invalid JSON payloads to the
server. Specifically, JSON payloads contained invalid Unicode strings.
Investigation revealed that the culprint was CommonUtils.convertString()
silently swallowing high bytes. When the Bagheera client went to gzip
the JSON payload, the input buffer into gzip was missing high bytes.
This patch changes the bagheera client to UTF-8 encode strings before
gzip, thus ensuring all data is preserved. A corresponding change was
also added to the mock bagheera server implementation.
Alternatively, we could have changed CommonUtils.convertString() to
be high byte aware. However, many consumers rely on this function.
This patch is written with the intent of being uplifted and the change
performed is targeted at the specific problem.
Tests for Unicode preserving behavior have been added to both the
generic Bagheera client and to FHR. The latter test is arguably
not necessary, but peace of mind is a good thing, especially with
FHR.

The data reporting notification was over-complicated. It wasn't
displayed for +24hr after first run and it had a weird, non-required
policy around what constituted acceptance of the policy.
The notification is now shown shortly after first startup.
The logic around "notification accepted" has been greatly simplified by
rolling it into "notification shown." Where we once were checking
whether the notification has been "accepted," we now check whether it
has been displayed. The overly complicated logic around the implicit
acceptance of the policy has also been removed.
The end result is the code for managing the state of the notification is
greatly simplified.
If recording FHR data during uploading raised an exception, it could
potentially abort the upload. This would appear to Mozilla as clients
that suddenly stopped using Firefox.
This patch adds explicit exception trapping around event record to
ensure this doesn't happen.

The v20140527.01 update hotfix deposited a JSON file in the profile
directory containing state. This file was purposefully not deleted
during hotfix uninstall so its contents could be later reported in
FHR.
This patch adds that reporting to FHR.
Currently, we only report a subset of the available fields. The
remaining "public" fields could be added easily enough. For now, it is
important that we capture the important ones.

The upcoming build system patches don't support hypthens in path names.
Changing this for that reason is kind of silly, but it's the easiest
way. Besides, nothing else uses hyphens in directory names.

This introduces a new crash event type for submissions and handles
them in the Crash Manager. These crash submissions will also be counted
in FHR.
