Switch to firebase analytics

* Remove ScratchJrApplication class - it was only being used to initialize the old Google Analytics.
* Change AppUsage (home, school, other, noanswer) from being a prefix on `label` to being a Firebase user property.
* Set the user property when loading the index page - it shouldn’t change for the rest of the session.
