Attachment: data-review.txt

Note that there was a previous data review for this in bug 1486644. For that bug this data was sent by an extension, and there isn't really any fundamental difference in the ping, but it will now be shipping with Firefox and has more documentation etc. (bug 1492656).

It was suggested in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D6359#157961 that we do a followup data review on this.
