1474521 - Forcibly run idle maintenance if we were unable to run it for a while

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Places, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

We noticed cases where idle maintenance doesn't run for some users, possibly due to the way they use the browser (short active sessions), or idle measuring bugs.

In those cases we should force an idle maintenance, maybe once a month or once every 2 months.
We should probably check the current queries to find possibly slow ones (for some users idle maintenance seems to take 10 seconds or such).

Since one of the long poles of maintenance is integrity_check, when we forcibly run maintenance we could instead use quick_check to avoid interrupting the user for too long.
