/*
 * The base class to implement a Task class.
 * The file system operations can only be performed in the parent process. In
 * order to avoid duplicated code, we used PBackground for child-parent and
 * parent-parent communications.
 *
 * The following diagram illustrates the how a API call from the content page
 * starts a task and gets call back results.
 *
 * The left block is the call sequence inside any process loading content, while
 * the right block is the call sequence only inside the parent process.

 *
 * 1. From the process that is handling the request
 * Child/Parent (it can be in any process):
 *   (1) Call FileSystem API from content page with JS. Create a task and run.
 *   The base constructor [FileSystemTaskBase()] of the task should be called.
 *   (2) The FileSystemTaskBase object is given to
 *   [FileSystemPermissionRequest::RequestForTask()] that will perform a
 *   permission check step if needed (See ePermissionCheckType enum). The real
 *   operation is done on the parent process but it's hidden by
 *   [nsContentPermissionUtils::AskPermission()]. If the permission check is not
 *   needed or if the page has the right permission, the
 *   FileSystemPermissionRequest will start the task (only once PBackground
 *   actor is fully initialized).
 *   (3) Forward the task to the parent process through the IPC and call
 *   [GetRequestParams] to prepare the parameters of the IPC.
 * Parent:
 *   (4) The parent process receives IPC and handle it in
 *   FileystemRequestParent. Get the IPC parameters and create a task to run the
 *   IPC task. The base constructor [FileSystemTaskParentBase(aParam, aParent)]
 *   For security reasons, we do an additional permission check if needed. In
 *   the check fails, the child process will be killed.
 *   of the task should be called to set the task as an IPC task.
 *   (5) The task operation will be performed in the member function of [IOWork].
 *   A I/O  thread will be created to run that function. If error occurs
 *   during the operation, call [SetError] to record the error and then abort.
 *   (6) After finishing the task operation, call [HandleResult] to send the
 *   result back to the child process though the IPC.
 *   (7) Call [GetRequestResult] request result to prepare the parameters of the
 *   IPC. Because the formats of the error result for different task are the
 *   same, FileSystemTaskBase can handle the error message without interfering.
 *   Each task only needs to implement its specific success result preparation
 *   function -[GetSuccessRequestResult].
 * Child/Parent:
 *   (8) The process receives IPC and calls [SetRequestResult] to get the
 *   task result. Each task needs to implement its specific success result
 *   parsing function [SetSuccessRequestResult] to get the success result.
 *   (9) Call [HandlerCallback] to send the task result to the content page.
