Reasons
- component_init: The newtab component init'd, and the newtab and homepage settings have been categorized. This is mostly to ensure we hear at least once from clients configured to not show a newtab UI.
- newtab_session_end: The newtab visit ended. Could be by navigation, being closed, etc.
