[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: A single pref update, to match a rollout value.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: We're currently using a rollout to handle this flip, so without this the only impact is the rollout hangs around for much longer.
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: No
• Needs manual test from QE?: Yes
• If yes, steps to reproduce: 1. from a new profile, set browser.search.region to CA

2. set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.devtoolsEnabled to true
3. Restart
4. go to about:home#devtools-ds

Expected: The show spocs checkbox should be checked.

• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): It's just a single pref change for a value that's already been set to true from most of release already via experiments/rollouts.
• String changes made/needed: none
