This also moves the enabling of the feature out from all.js into firefox.js, where it should
probably have been all along.

I think this needs a relnote for Beta 69?

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:

We're enabling user-initiated Picture-in-Picture for Windows on Firefox 69 Beta and Developer Edition to get user feedback. A forthcoming Hacks blogpost will go into further detail.

[Affects Firefox for Android]:

No.

[Suggested wording]:

An experimental Picture-in-Picture feature for videos has been enabled for users on Windows. This allows you to view web videos in an always-on-top video player.

[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]:

Hacks blogpost forthcoming.
