Backporting
Timeline

Immediate: patchset needed as soon as possible -
Next Minor Stable Release: patchset that needs to be verified in nightly before backport -
Eventually: patchset that needs to be verified in alpha before backport -

(Optional) Justification
-
Emergency security update: patchset fixes CVEs, 0-days, etc -
Censorship event: patchset enables censorship circumvention -
Critical bug-fix: patchset fixes a bug in core-functionality -
Consistency: patchset which would make development easier if it were in both the alpha and release branches; developer tools, build system changes, etc -
Sponsor required: patchset required for sponsor -
Localization: typos and other localization changes that should be also in the release branch -
Other: please explain

Change Description
Adapted from @pierov's Mullvad Browser patch.
Gate various about:pages:
- about:glean additionally on
MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING
- about:telemetry on
MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING
- about:webrtc on
MOZ_WEBRTC
Unconditionally removed:
- about:robots
- about:mozilla
- about:url-classifier
For some reason, the BASE_BROWSER_VERSION
definition doesn't make it down into /docshell/build/components
which is why some of the removals just follow the shopping removal implementation (remove and add a comment)
How Tested
Built locally, verified pages are not found and do not appear as links in about:about. There will probably be mostly trivial merge conflicts when backporting to base-browser and cherry-picking to mullvad-browser.
