While reviewing https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D149665 I looked for 'advanced' in preferences code.

This found me this set of things:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=advancedPrefs

There's some CSS and 2 telemetry-related tests.

In bug 1075055 we added some test(s) for telemetry and/or healthreport.

In bug 1545552 we noticed that it wasn't running. But we kept a test that checks if `telemetry` is true. But from a quick look at [a random log file](https://firefoxci.taskcluster-artifacts.net/OYpwLtd8QEmcPXkHqsTKnA/0/public/logs/live_backing.log), telemetry is `false` anyway:

```
[task 2022-06-21T22:12:25.759Z] 22:12:25     INFO -     telemetry: False
```

this makes sense (don't want test jobs sending telemetry), and anyway, AFAICT both browser_telemetry.js and browser_healthreport.js have been broken a while (they time out if run locally), because the `advancedPrefs` element which both rely on per the searchfox query above has not existed for a while now.

Dexter, unless you object, I'd like to suggest removing all of this.
