consolidate/simplify sanitizing, fixes #1256
move all sanitizing on exit prefs into 2800 switch to cookie lifetime as session - now users can utilize exceptions (as allow) - session cookies still block service workers (which we disable anyway) - we still block 3rd party cookies (until we move to dFPI) - we still have defense in depth for 3rd party cookies with 2803 - we still bulk sanitize offlineApps on exit: localStorage, service worker cache, QuotaManager (IndexedDB, asm-cache) - i.e you get to keep the cookies only IF you add an exception add `privacy.clearsitedata.cache.enabled`

e.g. some user data is erased on close (section 2800), change this to suit your needs
