(Whiteboard: [telemetry:mobilesdk:backlog])

Because of how Glean stores metric values in Android SharedPreferences using a key made from combining the ping name, category, and specific metric name, it's possible that values are orphaned and not removed when any part of the key name changes. The potential impact is low and centers on leaking some storage space to these lost metrics, but should probably look at a way to clean up metrics that haven't or won't be used.
