Doug Thayer 71de614a1d Bug 1666310 - Enable IOInterposer on early beta r=aklotz
We want to collect information on late writes via telemetry. We have been
doing this in Nightly for a while now, but want to do so in beta/release. I
was actually initially unaware of this limitation of the IOInterposer, but
we need the IOInterposer to collect information on late writes, so I would
like to enable it for just early beta, in the hopes that we can catch any
late writes that may be happening, without adding a performance tax onto
release.

Accordingly, is perf the only reason that this was restricted to Nightly?
And if so, did we measure a perf difference, or was this just general
caution regarding the performance impact? Is there anything else to look
out for?
