Updates OpenWPM to Firefox 157.

See the CHANGELOG for details.

Highlights

• Firefox 155.0.1 → 157, with the Extension manifest's strict_min_version pinned to match.
• Fixes lost records after an unpaired UTF-16 surrogate. A page-chosen string such as "\ud800" made the SQLite provider raise UnicodeEncodeError, which ended the extension's connection and dropped every later record of the session. Lone surrogates are now stored as U+FFFD.
• Firefox prefs cleanup. Normandy, browser updates and Safe Browsing list updates are now disabled through the prefs Firefox actually reads, including the new google5 Safe Browsing provider, which previously kept updating.

Data changes

• http_requests.post_body now includes form fields named __proto__, which Firefox before 157 dropped from requestBody.formData (bug 2061470).
• Phishing Safe Browsing is now actually disabled: the previous pref name was misspelled.
