1455073 - Change crash ping documentation to reflect the fact that all metadata fields are strings

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, enhancement)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1453766 +++

As per title. I will specify in the documentation what types the various fields can be safely parsed to so that they're easy to interpret anyway.
