The original code for the e10srollout system add-on used integers for the sample values in order to avoid storing a float as string and doing parseFloat, which is the traditional way to store a float in the preferences service.

However, it looks like we may start with a sample < 1%, so we need to be able to specify non-integer values.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: e10s rollout system add-on
[User impact if declined]: Currently the system add-on only allows integer values to be used in the sample size, so 1% is the min value. However, Product might want to start with a value <1%, so we need to allow floats for that 
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: landed on central
[Risks and why]: small. the code converts the old integer value to a float in order to preserve the existing assignment of test/control users that is present on the current beta47 experiment.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: none

I think we need this in Aurora48 as e10s might be enabled by default to a small percentage of users on release. I do not think this is needed in Beta47. Please let me know if that is not the case.

The value on beta47 would be to start testing the new code sooner, since the add-on is only used on Beta. However I might be ok with waiting until beta48 to test this change. Let me think some more about it and I'll let you know until the end of the week.
