1666545 - Move Places telemetry collection to the first idle

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

We currently collect Places telemetry on the gather-telemetry topic because it involved I/O to the database files. That means often it won't be reported, and that creates problems when analyzing the data.
We should move the collection to the first idle instead, as suggested by Data Science, and potentially cache the information for 24 hours (where though, a pref?) to avoid I/O happening too often.
