The "Background" metrics category was being set in the
`backgroundMetaMetricsEvent` function. This function might not
necessarily include any event at all though, so setting it here seemed
inappropriate. It would also crash if `eventData.eventOpts` was not
set, which is not great since that property is optional.
The background category is now set in the `sendBackgroundMetaMetrics`
function in `metamask-controller`. This method is used solely for event
data, so it would make sense for this category to be always set.
There is no functional difference, since `backgroundMetaMetricsEvent`
is called solely by `sendBackgroundMetaMetrics`.
The `currentPath` parameter passed to our metrics utility had been
passed the full URL rather than just the path, contrary to what the
name would imply. We only used the path portion, so passing the full
URL did lead to complications.
Now just the `pathname` is passed in, rather than the full URL. This
simplifies the metrics logic, and it incidentally fixes two bugs.
The main bug fixed is regarding Firefox metrics. Previously we had
assumed the `currentPath` would start with `chrome-extension://`, which
of course was not true on Firefox. This lead to us incorrectly parsing
the `currentPath`, so path tracking was broken for Firefox events.
This broken parsing is now bypassed entirely, so metrics should now
work the same on Firefox as on Chrome.
The second bug was that we were incorrectly setting the tracking URL
for background events during tests. As a result, we were incorrectly
detecting ourselves as an internal site that had referred the user to
us. But this was not of major concern, since it only affected test
metrics (which get sent to the development Matomo project).
Lastly, this change let us discard the `pathname` parameter used in
the `overrides` parameter of the `metricsEvent` function. Now that
`currentPath` is equivalent to `pathname`, the `pathname` parameter is
redundant.
* Remove `url` parameter from `metricsEvent`
The `url` parameter was used to override the `currentPath`, but it
never worked correctly. It was supposed to be used for setting the
`url` query parameter that was sent to Matomo, but `currentPath` was
always used even if it `url` was set and `currentPath` was empty.
Instead, `currentPath` is now always used. There was never a need to
provide an "override" for `currentPath` when it can be set directly.
The metrics provider does set `currentPath` automatically by default,
but this can be overwritten already by passing a second parameter to
`metricsEvent`.
There were two places this `url` parameter was being used: background
events, and path changes. Background events were submitted with no
`currentPath`, so because of the bug with the `url` parameter, the
metrics utility would crash upon each event. So those were never
actually sent. This commit will fix that crash.
The `currentPath` parameter was supplied as an empty string for the
path change events, so those never crashed. They just had the `url`
query string parameter set incorrectly (to an empty string). It should
now be correctly populated, which should mean we'll be capturing all
path changes now. Previously we were only capturing path changes to
pages that happened to include an event, because of this blank `url`
problem.
* Use `url` query parameter as fallback for generating `pv_id`
The `pv_id` parameter currently isn't generated correctly on Firefox,
as the generation assumes that the current URL starts with
`chrome-extension://`. The `url` query parameter is still unique for
each path, so it's probably good enough for generating an id for each
page.
This is just a temporary fix; it will be removed in a future PR, where
Firefox will be properly supported.
Background events are now sent in the `Background` category, rather
than `backend`. Conventionally we use the term "background" over
"backend", as it's not really a "backend" in the normal sense since
it's a client background process. Also it's capitalized because all of
the other event categories are capitalized as well.
The metrics URL has been updated to use `background` instead of
`backend` as well, for consistency.
Luckily we don't have to worry about our metrics being disjointed due
to this name change, because the background metrics never worked to
begin with! So there will be none under the old name. The metrics will
be made functional in a separate PR.

A new page has been created for viewing assets. This replaces the old
`selectedToken` state, which previously would augment the home page
to show token-specific information.
The new asset page shows the standard token overview as seen previously
on the home page, plus a history filtered to show just transactions
relevant to that token.
The actions that were available in the old token list menu have been
moved to a "Token Options" menu that mirrors the "Account Options"
menu.
The `selectedTokenAddress` state has been removed, as it is no longer
being used for anything.
`getMetaMetricState` has been renamed to `getBackgroundMetaMetricState`
because its sole purpose is extracting data from the background state
to send metrics from the background. It's not really a selector, but
it was convenient for it to use the same selectors the UI uses to
extract background data, so I left it there for now.
A new Redux store has been added to track state related to browser history.
The most recent "overview" page (i.e. the home page or the asset page) is
currently being tracked, so that actions taken from the asset page can return
the user back to the asset page when the action has finished.
* Send metrics event from backend for on chain transaction failures
* Passes state object to backEndMetaMetricsEvent, and adds getMetaMetricState selector
