Bug 1386027 - Simplify handleError interfaces for SessionCallback and TelemetryCollector

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/163666/#review170956

Consider uplift.

Why not also pass `reason` here, as on line 179?

Should we uplift?

Yup, I was waiting for a nice soft landing on nightly.

Approval Request Comment

[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: Bug 1308337 or one of its follow-ups

[User impact if declined]: Crash happens when sync fails in certain ways

[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: Somewhat; there are tests that exercise most of this code, just not under every condition.

[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: Should be in the next nightly.

[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: Not necessary.

[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: N/A

[Is the change risky?]: Not really.

[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: Patch is straightforward: it simplifies sync telemetry error handling interface, and ensures its consistent use, getting its consumers to stop passing around nulls.

[String changes made/needed]: N/A

Fix for crashes from telemetry changes in 55, let's uplift to beta 2. 
Includes tests.

Probably too late for 55.
Tracking as it seems that it is skipping
Should I request an uplift to 55 as well? I was under the impression that it was too late; I'm not sure what "it is skipping" means.
Flags: needinfo?(sledru)
I meant "spiking" :(
please fill the uplift request! 
thanks

simplify-telemetry-error-release.patch

Not really happy about the size of the patch but we will use nightly & beta as testing during the week end to see if it is really that safe.
