We need to track when Firefox view has opened.

This tracker will be used in:

We should only need to track the total number of times the user has viewed about:firefoxview (this can be done by incrementing a pref). We can use the date of the last feature callout message impression for the 24 hour cap in bug 1786347 and bug 1786341.

@Venetia do we truly want to show reminders after the nth time a user opens about:firefoxview? Or something more like the nth day that they've opened it? With the former, a user could open n separate windows or close and reopen a new window n times and potentially trigger the reminder shortly after finishing the initial tour.

After chatting with Venetia, we'll just track the number of times the user opens about:firefoxview as we'll also be enforcing a 24 limit between showing feature callout messages to avoid irritating users.

I have verified this enhancement and I can confirm that the "browser.firefox-view.view-count" pref is incremented by one each time the default pinned Firefox View tab is clicked.

Also, during testing, I have observed that the "browser.firefox-view.view-count" is not incremented if the "Firefox View" page is accessed by any other method except the default pinned tab, however, I have logged a separate issue for that (see Bug 1787752 ).

Verified using the latest Firefox Nightly (106.0a1 Build ID - 20220829094551) installed on Windows 10 x64, macOS 11.6.5, and Linux Mint 20.2 x64.
