[Bug 1351543] Re: whoopsie-preferences does not honor CRASH_DB_IDENTIFIER

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

whoopsie, by default generates the ID used to identify the machine.
and so does whoopsie-preferences.
However one can override the ID of whoopsie, by setting an environment variable (e.g. the way it's done for the emulators).
However, this makes whoopsie-preferences display and expose wrong ID, as it does not / cannot query the environment of the whoopsie process.
