Before P1, GetCurrentThreadSerialEventTarget would have always returned the same data as NS_GetCurrentThread, making the comment incorrect Now it will properly return the running TaskQueue if any.
This change of name more clearly exposes what they are doing, as we aren't always dealing with threads directly; but a nsISerialEventTarget

Everything that goes in a PLDHashtable (and its derivatives, like
nsTHashtable) needs to inherit from PLDHashEntryHdr. But through a lack
of enforcement, copy constructors for these derived classes didn't
explicitly invoke the copy constructor for PLDHashEntryHdr (and the
compiler didn't invoke the copy constructor for us). Instead,
PLDHashTable explicitly copied around the bits that the copy constructor
would have.
The current setup has two problems:
1) Derived classes should be using move construction, not copy
construction, since anything that's shuffling hash table keys/entries
around will be using move construction.
2) Derived classes should take responsibility for transferring bits of
superclass state around, and not rely on something else to handle that.
The second point is not a huge problem for PLDHashTable (PLDHashTable
only has to copy PLDHashEntryHdr's bits in a single place), but future
hash table implementations that might move entries around more
aggressively would have to insert compensation code all over the
place. Additionally, if moving entries is implemented via memcpy (which
is quite common), PLDHashTable copying around bits *again* is
inefficient.
Let's fix all these problems in one go, by:
1) Explicitly declaring the set of constructors that PLDHashEntryHdr
implements (and does not implement). In particular, the copy
constructor is deleted, so any derived classes that attempt to make
themselves copyable will be detected at compile time: the compiler
will complain that the superclass type is not copyable.
This change on its own will result in many compiler errors, so...
2) Change any derived classes to implement move constructors instead of
copy constructors. Note that some of these move constructors are,
strictly speaking, unnecessary, since the relevant classes are moved
via memcpy in nsTHashtable and its derivatives.
This patch is an automatic replacement of s/NS_NOTREACHED/MOZ_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE/. Reindenting long lines and whitespace fixups follow in patch 6b.

This reduces memory usage because we only need one allocation instead of two
for the dynamic atom and its chars, and because we don't need to store a
refcount and a size. It precludes sharing of chars between dynamic atoms, but
we weren't benefiting much from that anyway.
This reduces per-process memory usage by up to several hundred KiB on my
Linux64 box.
One consequence of this change is that we need to allocate + copy in
DOMString::SetKnownLiveAtom(), which could make some things slower.
Currently static atoms are stored on the heap, but their char buffers are
stored in read-only static memory.
This patch changes the representation of nsStaticAtom (thus making it a
non-trivial subclass of nsAtom). Instead of a pointer to the string, it now has
an mStringOffset field which is a 32-bit offset to the string. (This requires
placement of the string and the atom within the same object so that the offset
is known to be small. The docs and macros in nsStaticAtom.h handle that.)
Static and dynamic atoms now store their chars in different ways: nsStaticAtom
stores them inline, nsDynamicAtom has a pointer to separate storage. So
`mString` and GetStringBuffer() move from nsAtom to nsDynamicAtom.
The change to static atoms means they can be made constexpr and stored in
read-only memory instead of on the heap. On 64-bit this reduces the per-process
overhead by 16 bytes; on 32-bit the saving is 12 bytes. (Further reductions
will be possible in follow-up patches.)
The increased use of constexpr required multiple workarounds for MSVC.
- Multiple uses of MOZ_{PUSH,POP}_DISABLE_INTEGRAL_CONSTANT_OVERFLOW_WARNING to
disable warnings about (well-defined!) overflow of unsigned integer
arithmetic.
- The use of -Zc:externConstexpr on all files defining static atoms, to make
MSVC follow the C++ standard(!) and let constexpr variables have external
linkage.
- The use of -constexpr:steps300000 to increase the number of operations
allowed in a constexpr value, in order to handle gGkAtoms, which requires
hashing ~2,500 atom strings.
The patch also changes how HTML5 atoms are handled. They are now treated as
dynamic atoms, i.e. we have "dynamic normal" atoms and "dynamic HTML5 atoms",
and "dynamic atoms" covers both cases, and both are represented via
nsDynamicAtom. The main difference between the two kinds is that dynamic HTML5
atoms still aren't allowed to be used in various operations, most notably
AddRef()/Release(). All this also required moving nsDynamicAtom into the header
file.
There is a slight performance cost to all these changes: now that nsStaticAtom
and nsDynamicAtom store their chars in different ways, a conditional branch is
required in the following functions: Equals(), GetUTF16String(),
WeakAtom::as_slice().
Finally, in about:memory the "explicit/atoms/static/atom-objects" value is no
longer needed, because that memory is static instead of heap-allocated.

Most of the noise is from the fact that clang-format on parser/html/*.{h,cpp}
reformatted all sorts of stuff. Not running it caused lots of format changes
from the generator... I guess we changed the format rules since the last time
this got run?

It's a sub-class of nsAtom, useful for cases where you know you are dealing
exclusively with static atoms. The nice thing about it is that you can use
raw nsStaticAtom pointers instead of RefPtr<>. (In fact, the AddRef/Release
implementations ensure that we'll crash if we use RefPtr<nsStaticAtom>.)

Bug 1400459 devirtualized nsIAtom so that it is no longer a subclass of
nsISupports. This means that nsAtom is now a better name for it than nsIAtom.

nsHtml5Atoms are very similar to dynamic nsAtoms. This patch removes the former
in favour of the latter, which leaves nsAtom as the only subclass of nsIAtom.
nsAtom::mKind is still used to distinguish dynamic atoms from HTML5 atoms, and
the HTML5 parser still uses manual memory management to handle its HTML5 atoms.
nsHtml5AtomEntry::mAtom had to be changed from an nsAutoPtr to a raw pointer
because nsAtom's destructor is private.
