1890574 - Add a simple utility to select a backup staging folder to `recovery` and initiate recovery

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Profile Backup, task, P3)

We're going to be working on recovery before we dive full-bore into the single-file archive support. That means we have to simulate having decrypting and extracted the archive.

One way to do that is, after staging a backup, to clone it to a sibling folder under ProfD/backups/recovery, and use that folder as the "recovery folder".

So this bug is about adding a utility to debug.html to do that cloning, and to initiate recovery.

I think we can skip the rename for now and just have a folder picker open to let the developer choose a staging directory, regardless of the name.
