fix(measurex): use same keys of the OONI data format (#572)
This change should simplify the pipeline's job.

Reference issue: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1817.

I previously dismissed this possibility, but now it seems clear it
is simpler to have a very tabular data format internally and to
convert such a format to OONI's data format when serializing.

The OONI data format is what the pipeline expects, but processing
is easier with a more linear/tabular format.

return nil

s := err.Error()
