* Updates Fenix taskcluster tasks to support beta release

* Uses beta secrets for beta
* Improves nightly and beta treeherder symbols
This fetches the Google Advertising ID, salts it and
then applies hashing before sending a ping with it,
at startup. Hashing and salting are used in order
to prevent ourselves to correlate advertising IDs
from the same user running different products we
own off a single device. We will never send the
client_id and the Google Advertising ID in the same
ping.
Our main dependency - android-components - is tightly integrated
against a certain version of appservices. Having a direct dependency
at the Fenix level is a foot-gun: it allows Fenix to consume an API-incompatible
version of appservices, breaking parts of android-components. Due to
how gradle dependency resolution works, this breakage is "silent": there are
no compile time warnings. A recent example of this is broken history sync,
and buggy FxA experience in Fenix.
This patch removes a direct dependency, letting android-components dictate
which appservices version should be used Fenix builds.
This is necessary to pick up an application-services dependency bump, and unbreak master.
AwesomeBarUIView changes are needed because, evidently, a new parameter was introduced, and
not at the end.
This patch integrates the new a-c BackgroundSyncManager, which is the
main entry point for interacting with Sync. Behind the scenes, it uses
WorkManager in order to sync configured syncable stores.
Current behaviour:
- sync runs on start, with a slight delay
- sync runs on a schedule few times a day, to lessen the startup sync burden
Also included is a basic UI integration in order to allow user to synchronize
on demand, and monitor sync state.
