(Whiteboard: [geckoview:fxr])

FxR or other apps using GV might want to customize their User-Agent strings. For example, Chrome, Samsung Internet, and the Oculus Browser include the token "VR" in their User-Agent strings. FxR might have webcompat issues if it doesn't include "VR" too. Bug 1454444 is the GV bug about Focus asking GV for its User-Agent string, but there was no bug requesting a GV API to set the User-Agent string. We might WONTFIX this feature request, but we can record our decision here in this bug.

(Note: I think we're going to need something like UserAgentOverrides, but perhaps that's different than this request?)
