2018218 - Add granular telemetry for AI Controls preference changes

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Stefan Opsal]

This bug supports the broader effort to centralize AI related user controls in Firefox Settings.
While telemetry already exists for the 'Block AI enhancements' toggle, this ticket adds more granular instrumentation by introducing a feature_pref_change event that is recorded when a user changes the preference of any feature under AI controls.
