Sending the shutdown ping using the pingsender was disabled from the first Firefox session due to bot profile concerns (see bug 1354482).

After investigating the impact of the 'new-profile' ping on Release, if we find that sending the 'shutdown' ping from the first session is a good idea, we should revisit the topic and remove this first session special case.

r=me for the code change.
Landing has to wait until we cleared the discussion (or land it with the pref set to false).

Nit: This is not a global constant, lets use normal camel-case here.

Nit: `pingPromise` or so.

Why not just use `ping = PingServer.promiseNextPing()` here directly?

Do you mean like this?

> await TelemetryController.testShutdown();
> ping = await PingServer.promiseNextPing();

Wouldn't we risk missing the 'shutdown' ping/introducing oranges on try, with promiseNextPing being executed after the ping is generated? That should be unlikely, though

No, you can't miss pings with our PingServer.
You get either 1) the most recent ping or 2) wait for the next ping to arrive.
