  Bug 41197 - [android] Disable autofill
  
  Firefox is an Autofill service. From the Android docs:
  
  > An autofill service is an app that makes it easier for users to fil
  > out forms by injecting data into the views of other apps. Autofill
  > services can also retrieve user data from the views in an app and
  > store it for use at a later time. Autofill services are usually
  > provided by apps that manage user data, such as password managers.
  
  Tor Browser is not an autofill service. All of the autofill backend
  is disabled at build time, since it lives in application-services.
  
  This commit disabled the client side of autofill.
