Firefox for Amazon's Fire TV is now using the browser-session, feature-session and browser-engine-system components. This simplified the code base by removing ~4000 lines of code (see PR #1044 and PR #982 for details).
Kudos to the application-services team for various bug fixes in our service-firefox-accounts component (see commits for details).

We now provide aggregated API docs. The docs for this release are hosted at: https://mozilla-mobile.github.io/android-components/api/0.22
browser-engine-*:
- EngineView now exposes lifecycle methods with default implementations. A LifecycleObserver implementation is provided which forwards events to EngineView instances.
```
lifecycle.addObserver(EngineView.LifecycleObserver(view))
```
- Added engine setting for blocking web fonts:
```
GeckoEngine(runtime, DefaultSettings(webFontsEnabled = false))
```
- setDesktopMode() was renamed to toggleDesktopMode().
browser-engine-system: The X-Requested-With header is now cleared (set to an empty String).

browser-session: Desktop mode can be observed now:

session.register(object : Session.Observer {
    fun onDesktopModeChange(enabled: Boolean) {
        // ..
    }
})

service-fretboard:
- Fretboard now has synchronous methods for adding and clearing overrides: setOverrideNow(), clearOverrideNow, clearAllOverridesNow.
- Access to Experiment.id is now deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in a future release (target: 0.24). The id is an implementation detail of the underlying storage service and was not meant to be exposed to apps.
ui-tabcounter: Due to a packaging error previous releases of this component didn't contain any compiled code. This is the first usable release of the component.
