After we enabled the Rust-powered metrics ping scheduler the firefox-desktop-background-update application started sending a metrics ping.
That application doesn't put any metrics in that ping, all that's in there is glean_validation_first_run_hour, which is a core metric.
They use a custom ping to send data.
We should probably just disable the MPS in that app.
FOG is initialized here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5a362eb7d054740dc9d7c82c79a2efbc5f3e4776/toolkit/mozapps/update/BackgroundTask_backgroundupdate.jsm#319
Filing as a telemetry bug, because this will require changing initializeFOG

Hm. Well, we could make use_core_mps conditional on not being supplied an app_id override...
It means tying the concept of "metrics" pings to just Firefox Desktop. Good enough for now, I guess. No need to seek a Perfect Solution beyond that.

Background Update only uses its own custom pings for metrics sending
(at least for now) so we shouldn't turn on the Metrics Ping Scheduler for it.
