1513563 - Provide a way to dump pings to logcat

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Alessio Placitelli [:Dexter]]

telemetry-android allows to dump pings to logcat instead of sending them to our servers.

We could use a similar mechanism while debugging, to avoid spamming our code with breakpoints or printfs :)

The current implementation for telemetry-android lives here: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/master/components/service/telemetry/src/main/java/org/mozilla/telemetry/net/DebugLogClient.kt

What should turn this behavior on and off?  A flag on the Glean.Configuration object, or something else?

I think we should just check a flag in Glean.Configuration.
