Timo Tijhof 09862cffec ext.uls.eventlogger: Remove more obsolete deferred complexity
Follows-up c578db02 and ea671b1f, which I thought removed
all code relating to the old async EventLogging method.
I didn't notice this UI code at the time, because I only took a
single pass over the code to find dead code. Now that that code
is gone, it is clear that the UI code is also redundant.

The mw.track() and logEvent() methods don't track the Beacon API's
async fetches, which also isn't needed, since the loss of browser
context upon navigation doesn't abort background beacons.

The loading of the EL library itself is already ensured via a
dependency so we already know there won't be an async fetch for
that.

What that leaves is some portion of older browsers in which a
EventLogging falls back to 'new Image'. This is basically just
IE 11 per <https://caniuse.com/beacon>, and for those some portion
of events will have been lost since EventLogging removed support
two+ years ago for tracking those fallback fetches via a Promise
(because of the perf issues caused by what the removed code here
was able to do).
