Previously we were staring `PBackground` in content processes in
response to receiving the `SetXPCOMProcessAttributes` IPC message, which
is sent immediately after the process is launched. Meanwhile, the
idle scheduler tries to use PBackground when the main thread considers
itself idle. But if thread scheduling is such that the content process
main thread becomes idle before the IPC I/O thread has received and
dispatched that message, then we have a problem (signaled by an assertion
failure).
This patch moves content process `PBackground` startup earlier, to the
end of `ContentProcess::Init`; that point is after enough of IPC and
XPCOM is started for it to work, but before we start spinning the main
thread event loop.

This change instead recovers from unhandled special messages by reporting a
normal IPC error, which should be handled using the normal IPC error
mechanisms.

When this change was first implemented, it ignored dead actors for all types of
messages, but for messages with replies they cannot be ignored, as a reply must
be sent. This should fix that oversight.

This simplifies the logic around MessageTask's lifecycle to make
ownership as clear as possible and reduce the number of redundant
checks.
This new change no longer clears the mChannel member when the
MessageTask is disconnected, instead relying on isInList() to check
whether the MessageTask is still in the channel's mPending list. This is
already being automatically managed as the mPending list is modified,
and should avoid potential usage mistakes.

After looking through the methods which have this assertion, I couldn't
find any examples of places where not having a specific "link thread"
sequence would cause any issues. I think these assertions can and should
be removed.
The main change required by this was to remove the `!NS_IsMainThread()`
assertion from the SchedulerGroup listener. Due to how callbacks work,
it would be possible for a vsync message to be detected by a
MessageChannel from the main thread if it was sent before the channel
was bound. I don't believe that this change should cause any issues.

If GetMainThreadIdleScheduler is called after IPC is destroyed it can
attempt to start it as if it's the first use, which crashes. Instead check
if we've already destroyed the scheduler once and if so then return early.

This implements Jamie's suggested fixes for a screenreader issue when the
skeleton UI is enabled. Most of the work here is just pulling out pieces from the
files we needed to include in mozglue so that any references to, say, nsString
or other pieces from libxul either no longer exist or are only included when
building libxul. In a few cases this meant creating whole files to house single
functions, which isn't so pretty, but it was the best I could come up with to
get the job done.

This patch launches content processes with the `MOZ_HEADLESS` env var set
if they're using GTK with an X11 display (and there's no other reason
they'd need GTK).
The goal is to avoid exhausting Xorg's default limit of 256 clients if
there are many content processes due to Fission. If these conditions
are met, the content process doesn't need to eagerly connect to the X
server. This does not affect the sandbox policy, and content processes
can still use X if needed for, e.g., WebGL.
The boolean pref `dom.ipc.avoid-gtk`, set by default, controls this
feature. In the future it could also be extended to minimize GTK use
with Wayland displays.
Note that disabling `widget.non-native-theme.enabled`, which is also
enabled by default, will restore the use of X11 in all content processes
even if this pref is set; the alternative is that widgets wouldn't render
in that case.
This change will also save some memory for now-unnecessary instances of
GTK's global state, and improve content process startup time.
Remove also the temp pref dom.ipc.remote-mozIcon because it cannot work
anymore with the content process being headless.

These port attachments are stored directly on the IPC::Message until the
message is ready to be routed to another process, at which point they will be
attached to the port in WillBeRoutedExternally. When the message is then
received on the other side, the ports will be re-extracted from the
UserMessageEvent before it is discarded and re-added to the IPC::Message so
that serializers only need to interact directly with the IPC::Message type.

This is used because, unlike in Mojo, we cannot get from the IPC::Message

This extends on the changes in part 12a and consumes the new PortRef-based API

This also consumes the existing channel created when launching a process to
create the the conneciton required by NodeController for communicating between
processes. In part 12b, consumers of the broken APIs will be adjusted to use
the new interface.
The new routing approach is not used for the fork server process, as an IO
thread and the NodeController object cannot be initialized before the fork has
been performed, and the IPC requirements of that process are fairly minimal.

The NodeController and NodeChannel types act as the backbone connecting the
existing IPC logic and driving the ports routing code. Individual NodeChannel
objects wrap and respond to messages from IPC::Channel, and the NodeController
orchestrates all messaging for a process.
The design of these types are inspired by the types with the same names from
Mojo but have been simplified and streamlined to only support features used by
Gecko.
Support for attaching ports or handles to messages hasn't been added yet, but
can be added in follow-up patches.
