The goal is to make the Reporter detects automatically when Marfeel is used on a Website.

See Bug 1149160 for the context about Marfeel.

https://github.com/mozilla/webcompat-team-okrs/issues/79

This will require to discover the pattern for marfeel library
On the server side, it will be handled by https://github.com/webcompat/webcompat.com/issues/2844
(see previously Bug 1535479 for FastClick)

A first strategy would be to detect a request to
https://bc.marfeel.com/statics/marfeel/gardac.js

There is also a window.marfeel object being created.
That would be very similar to the FastClick issue, and we could probably reuse most of the code.

        }   
    ]

I surveyed websites in the see also of Bug 1149160.
All the sites with marfeel had the window.marfeel object.
