This patch adds a .static property to histograms to block histograms created with nsITelemetry::newHistogram from being reported to the metrics server. newHistogram is mainly useful for testing at the moment. This will prevent addons from reporting new histograms via telemetry.

I would like to eventually support telemetry in addons and give addon authors access to the aggregated data, but we aren't ready for that in Firefox 7.

No need to change the IID here.

Need to document that telemetry histograms defined with nsITelemetry::newHistogram will not be reported in the telemetry ping.
