Include platform and locale data in Typeform hidden fields

[cassidyjames]

We often wonder what platform and locale feedback is coming from. It turns out Typeform supports hidden fields with a URL parameter-like hash, so we should be able to include this easily:

https://www.typeform.com/help/a/using-hidden-fields-360052676612/

We may want to include the app version in there while we're at it. I'm not sure if there's other automatic information we'd like to include.

Sounds simple enough! I was wondering about our URL redirects, but all seems fine: If I navigate to https://endlessos.org/key-feedback-es#name=manuel&foo=bar I end up in https://endlessos.typeform.com/to/ohjef1FG#name=manuel&foo=bar

I have a PR with the language and also the Kolibri version + the Endless Key version as displayed in our About modal (eg. "Manatee v6.46.0"). But still draft because I'm missing the platform. I see Kolibri perseus plugin is using navigator.platform but this document says it's outdated? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/platform

After a second thought, we can leave platform as "Unknown" for now. The rest is working. When I try in localhost I am redirected to this URL: https://endlessos.typeform.com/to/ohjef1FG?typeform-source=localhost#language=es-419&platform=Unknown&kolibriVersion=0.16.0b1

Actually, the way to go with platform is to pass "KOLIBRI_PROJECT" to the hidden fields. This is what Kolibri uses for telemetry too. For example we pass "endless-key-android" in the Android app: https://github.com/endlessm/kolibri-installer-android/blob/a575aaeeff7904eb51ee218c90f83ff585aca5f9/src/kolibri_android/kolibri_utils.py#L69

The Windows app is passing 'endless-key-windows' too. https://github.com/endlessm/endless-key-app/blob/951e1555525c71499a8c1b0c044342a5b410c2bc/kolibri-electron/src/index.js#L28

@dylanmccall or @starnight can you confirm if the Flathub app is passing KOLIBRI_PROJECT as the Android and Windows apps? I couldn't find it.

[starnight]

Hmm ... Seems like the "KOLIBRI_PROJECT" environment variable has not been set in the flatpak, nor Flathub.

The _init_kolibri_env() might be a good function to place "KOLIBRI_PROJECT" environment variable.

Merged the flatpak change to set KOLIBRI_PROJECT. Moving back to in progress so it can be consumed in the explore plugin. I don't remember if we use this form on the Endless Key server or not, but that should probably set KOLIBRI_PROJECT, too.

This is actually still ready for review: #869
