Set an expiry date for unused histograms (Extension*)

These are histograms that have not been viewed in the last 6 months, but still
report data on the Stable channel. Set these histograms to stop being recorded
for Chrome releases after 2018-08-30. We will file bugs via Monorail (crbug)
reminding owners about the approaching histogram expiry – initially 30 days
prior to expiry, and also with follow-up alerts. The metrics dashboards will
also display a warning for anyone viewing a soon-to-expire histogram.

Owners and/or users of these histograms: Please comment on this CL if you think
that any affected histogram should not have an expiry date set! This should be
uncommon.

Otherwise, there are a few options going forward:
  * If the histogram is no longer needed, please send a follow-up CL to delete
    the recording code and to mark the histogram as <obsolete>. (You can also
    remove the expiry date in the same CL.)
  * If you want to set a different expiry date, please send a follow-up CL to do
    so.
  * If neither of the above apply, then keep an eye out for Monorail bugs as the
    histogram expiry date approaches.
