Jan-Erik Rediger 3e66e75828 Bug 1458574 - Add histogram to track file age in profile directory. r=chutten
During every scan of the profile directory, we now record the age relative to the current date of each file seen.
In theory we should rarely need to scan the profile directory, as on invocation it also stores the found time in a `times.json` file.
We therefore don't need precise tracking above 4 years (~ 1500 days).

One thing to note:
ProfileAge might get re-entered, each invocation then starting a profile directory scan, as no `times.json` is found.
The actual write of the file is done atomically, so the file should never be corrupted due to this.
