This converts FX_URLBAR_SELECTED_RESULT_TYPE_2, FX_URLBAR_SELECTED_RESULT_INDEX
and the correlation between them FX_URLBAR_SELECTED_RESULT_INDEX_BY_TYPE_2 to
keyed scalars, that are nicer to use and analyze.

They are converted to one keyed scalar per result type, tracking the number
of times that type was picked per urlbar index.
The sums (count per type or per index) can still be derived from this structure.
