1719392 - Increase TTL of client and tab records

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Sync, enhancement)

Description

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

Over in bug 1718545, a user lost their tabs because they went looking for them after ~8 weeks, but we TTL them at 3 weeks - even though the device still appeared as connected to the account itself. However, desktop actually hides "stale" devices - ie, devices that are no longer connected to FxA - so the primary reason for this short TTL (avoid dupe devices etc) doesn't really apply.

I don't see a good reason not to set these records with a TTL of (say) 6 months, or even longer.

(Note that SyncedTabs.jsm appears to not filter stale clients - maybe it does - someone should spend more than the 30 seconds I took to make sure. If we make this change we should also make it in the rust components so everyone is consistent)
