Alex Hochheiden 9546d39834 Bug 2038789 - Add extra_deps to GeneratedFile for hidden runtime prereqs, and use it for application.ini r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,sergesanspaille
Some `GeneratedFile` scripts open additional files at runtime
(e.g. #include @TOPOBJDIR@/...), so backends need a way to
declare those as prerequisites without passing them as
positional args.

Also normalizes the `_target_per_file` key to an absolute
path so `GENERATED_FILES` dependencies that cross directory
boundaries actually resolve.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
