This should move the relevant items from the recovery folder into the right places in the newly created user profile directory.

In bug 1890585, instead of using a generalized IndexedDB database backup solution (which we're unlikely to get in the short term), we're manually exporting the contents of any important IndexedDB database (in this case, that's just the ActivityStream databases "snippets" table) to a JSON file (activity-stream-snippets.json). We're going to need to insert the (blessedly simple) contents of that table into the IndexedDB database created for the newly created profile after launching it. This means doing some work in the "post-recovery" phase.
