Display proper Play Store app IDs #79

For products using Glean, app IDs end up getting transformed into three separate formats:

Source app ID from the play store: org.mozilla.firefox_beta
Document namespace sent in pings: org-mozilla-firefox-beta
Dataset name in BigQuery: org_mozilla_firefox_beta

In GUD, we are currently showing the document namespace, but it seems more correct and likely more recognizable to Android developers if we use the source app ID as it exists in the Play Store.

This looks good to me, thanks for checking in! In the long run I don't know that I would think of developers as our only consumer. Our labels need to resonate with everyone.

I think the current choice (hyphenated ping namespace name) is likely to be the least familiar, so either of the others would be a better choice. Data folks would be likely to most easily recognize the BQ dataset name, but I expect the translation from app ID to datset name will be pretty obvious.

I advocate for using the original app ID as I think the most opportunity for surprise is from product folks working on Fenix who might be used to seeing the app IDs but don't spend any time in BQ. Thus the original app ID seems the best choice.
