Subject: [PATCH] Bug 1383299 - Ensure we start to set up network connection
 before content process requests. r=mconley

In chrome process, we often know which url is going to be loaded.
As a performance optimization, we can start initiating network
connection before sending out the 'LoadURI' message to the content
process.
