Standardize providers identification keys. about analytics.js HOT 1 CLOSED

This is actually something we had about a week ago, but we decided to make the names specific to the service's documentation so that when you're trying to map the settings to their docs it makes more sense. I can see an argument for wanting the mapping between services to be clearer instead...

One reason we felt it was okay was our terse initialization syntax paves over the differences:

analytics.initialize({
  'KISSmetrics': 'XXXXXXXXXX',
  'Mixpanel': 'XXXXXXXXXX',
  'Google Analytics': 'UA-XXXXXXX-X'
});

So in the most common case you never have to worry about it, but when you're digging in they are still service-specific.

I think we'll let the current implementation go for a bit longer and see if we run into any real annoyances, and if we do we can switch back to the abstracted version. Thanks for the input!
