/* Posthog analytics tracking.
*
* Anonymity behaviour is as follows:
*
* - If Posthog isn't configured in `config.json`, events are not sent.
* - If [Do Not Track](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/doNotTrack) is
* enabled, events are not sent (this detection is built into posthog and turned on via the
* `respect_dnt` flag being passed to `posthog.init`).
* - If the `feature_pseudonymous_analytics_opt_in` labs flag is `true`, track pseudonomously by maintaining
* a randomised analytics ID in account_data for that user (shared between devices) and sending it to posthog to
identify the user.
* - Otherwise, if the existing `analyticsOptIn` flag is `true`, track anonymously, i.e. do not identify the user
using any identifier that would be consistent across devices.
* - If both flags are false or not set, events are not sent.

* is passed to posthog.
*
* To update anonymity, call updateAnonymityFromSettings() or you can set it directly via setAnonymity().
*
* To pass an event to Posthog:
*
* 1. Declare a type for the event, extending IAnonymousEvent or IPseudonymousEvent.
* 2. Call the appropriate track*() method. Pseudonymous events will be dropped when anonymity is
* Anonymous or Disabled; Anonymous events will be dropped when anonymity is Disabled.
