Before this patch, experiment add-ons may have existed in the Addons
Manager without the Experiments service knowing about them. This detects
these unknown add-ons and uninstalls them. See the in-line comment on
the rationale behind this decision.
The added unit test fails without the Experiments.jsm change.

Experiment add-ons are now disabled by default on application load. It
is up to the Experiments Manager to enable them.
This means that experiments may not be able to reliably collect data or
modify behavior close to application startup. (There is a window between
when the Addon Manager initializes and when the Experiments Manager
initializes.) This window is acceptable for the initial version of the
experiments feature.
The Experiments Manager doesn't currently enable experiments on startup.
This will be addressed in a subsequent patch. Its tests do not regress
(indicating a lack of test coverage), so no harm no foul.

Experiment add-ons are installed and updated via the Experiments Manager
service. With this change, the Add-ons Manager lets experiment add-ons
play by their own rules without interference.

* no need to pass an addon/experiment ID to .disableExperiment()
* fix multiple-logging when multiple Experiments() objects are created as in tests
* ensures that all dirty writes actually get written
