clean up "Firefox Data Collection & Use" (#627)
* clean up "Firefox Data Collection & Use"
- telemetry prefs to 330's
- Firefox Data Collection & Use prefs to 340's (but leave crash reports in 350s)
- move `app.shield.optoutstudies.enabled` to 330's - this is an internal pref which controls if you get the system addon
- make notes that `datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled` controls studies and ext recommendations
- split crash reports better to reflex the UI setting
