Stylo's bindgen is configured partially through a .toml.in file that
substitutes the value of a configure variable (BINDGEN_CFLAGS) into a
TOML list. We can debate whether this is a good thing to do some other
time; the reality is that the current moz.configure code that provides
the set_config for BINDGEN_CFLAGS needs to perform all the quoting
itself.
We want, however, to define the substituted variable in old-configure.in
land (some of the values that will go into BINDGEN_CFLAGS are only
defined in old-configure.in, and are not trivially ported to
moz.configure), which means that we need to have quoting logic in
m4/Python when we generate config.status. This patch adds an
appropriate macro for doing so.
The various AC_SUBST macros generate AC_SUBST_*FOO macros for holding the
values to substitute. The macros also cross-check the AC_SUBST_* macros
generated by other variants to make sure that you don't try to do
something like AC_SUBST(FOO) and AC_SUBST_SET(FOO). However, the check
in AC_SUBST_SET for AC_SUBST_LIST duplicate is missing an underscore:
the AC_SUBST_LIST macro generates another macro starting with
AC_SUBST_LIST_, but the AC_SUBST_SET macro checks for the prefix
AC_SUBST_LIST, which is missing the trailing underscore.
As we're going to be adding yet another AC_SUBST_* macro variant, and
therefore adding more checks to all existing macros, let's clean this up
before we start.
While we're here, provide a reference to unique_list as defined in
moz.configure when executing config.data to avoid its redefinition
in m4.

This moves all the reading mozconfig, finding autoconf, refreshing the
old configure, and running the old configure into sandboxed
moz.configure. This effectively bootstraps the sandboxed python configure.
The nice side effect is that now we can have actual dicts for defines
and substs from the start, which simplifies so things, although it
requires adjustments to some unit tests.
When adding a backend, we currently have to add them in three different
places so that they appear in the right places.
Instead, keep the list in a single place.
The result of running this backend is a json file containing an array with 3 elements:
a map from resource:// and chrome:// url prefixes to corresponding objdir directories,
a map of overrides, and a map from objdir files to srcdir files (with a flag for whether
the file was preprocessed) for js file in FinalTargetFiles. A subsequent commit implements
the procedure to find an replace based on the url mapping, subsistute based on overrides,
and find sourcedir files based on objdir files.

The order in which backends appear is important, and dealing with deduplication
in configure.in is not really nice, so for all simplification purposes, this relies
on using AC_SUBST_SET, which does the deduplication and keeps the original order
in which items appear (despite its name).
While the name AC_SUBST_SET suggests the underlying type would be a set, it does
not actually matter that much in moz.build, and is not used that much anyways.
On automation, this brings Windows configure time on a clobber from 5:30 to 3:10.
Sadly, because make needs to run under intl/icu/host before configuring
intl/icu/target, intl/icu/host needs to be configured independently. Fortunately,
that's not configured for normal windows builds anyways.
Also, having multiple subconfigures sharing the same cache file is dangerously
racy. Fortunately, not a lot do. In fact, only js/src and $_subconfigure_subdir
do, so force the latter (only used for ldap sdk on comm-central) not to
configure in parallel.
Before, we would run configure in both top-level and js/src, and both
configures would traverse their own set of moz.builds, without actual
knowledge about the other. With this change, both configures still run,
but only top-level traverses moz.build files, and uses js/src's
config.status when traversing its moz.build files. This allows a better
sharing of information between both build systems and the removal of many
hacks.
This also moves running libffi and icu configure to top-level.
Standalone js builds still have their own configure doing moz.build traversal,
as before.
