// Segment RLZ persistence based on branding information.
// All information for a given product is persisted under keys with the either
// product's name or its access point's name.  This assumes that only
// one instance of the product is installed on the machine, and that only one
// product brand is associated with it.
//
// In some cases, a given product may be using supplementary brands.  The RLZ
// information must be kept separately for each of these brands.  To achieve
// this segmentation, scope all RLZ library calls that deal with supplementary
// brands within the lifetime of an rlz_lib::ProductBranding instance.
//
// For example, to record events for a supplementary brand, do the following:
//
//  {
//    rlz_lib::SupplementaryBranding branding("AAAA");
//    // This call to RecordProductEvent is scoped to the AAAA brand.
//    rlz_lib::RecordProductEvent(rlz_lib::DESKTOP, rlz_lib::GD_DESKBAND,
//                                rlz_lib::INSTALL);
//  }
//
//  // This call to RecordProductEvent is not scoped to any supplementary brand.
//  rlz_lib::RecordProductEvent(rlz_lib::DESKTOP, rlz_lib::GD_DESKBAND,
//                              rlz_lib::INSTALL);
//
// In particular, this affects the recording of stateful events and the sending
// of financial pings.  In the former case, a stateful event recorded while
// scoped to a supplementary brand will be recorded again when scoped to a
// different supplementary brand (or not scoped at all).  In the latter case,
// the time skip check is specific to each supplementary brand.
