revisit: search engine region #1590

@ghost

Description

v107 enables region tracking (0203) again, why?

browser.region.network.url is the broader setting which needs to be blocked to prevent mozilla and firefox from knowing your region (region.current, region.home, browser.search.region, doh-rollout.home-region).
browser.region.update.enabled is a specific setting which only controls if firefox is allowed to switch region.home.

So browser.region.network.url is probably the main thing we want and not a just an additional defense-in-depth.

As firefox is now allowed to set browser.search.region we probably need to make 0204 active, too.
