overview
This PR updates the intercom configuration to attach a unique user ID (generated on first open of the app) that is stored on the filesystem to persist between app openings and re-installs. This should allow users to keep their conversations going.
It also lays a little bit of groundwork for users to be able to input their name and email for support purposes.
Closes #1999
changelog
review requests
I separated support from analytics to make sure we don't leak data between the too and keep our modules (the code kind) more focused.
