Comment:

 Following mcs suggestion, I resurrected the onboarding system addon. Then
 I cherry picked the original Tor onboarding commits and finally converted
 the bootstrapped extension into a webextension + experimental API, which
 is how it was done for other extensions (e.g. `formautofill`).

 Implemented in 6 last commits of https://github.com/acatarineu/tor-
 browser/commits/28822 (based on current `30429` branch).
