It is possible to hook up in-tree documentation to Sphinx. Convert the
one-off README.md to ReStructuredText and add it to the Sphinx docs.
I added a moz.build file under testing/ because I don't think it is
appropriate for the Sphinx directive to live in the root moz.build file.

The behavior is not entirely idempotent (most notably for
buildconfig.html), but this can be improved later if necessary.
It is idempotent where it matters.
This allows to get rid of config/makefiles/rcs.mk and its uses.
Both these files, are, after all, define files, like other CONFIGURE_DEFINE_FILES.
They only happen to have a special requirement for an expansion for all defines,
which doesn't need to happen through traditional preprocessing.
This change adds consistency in how configure-related headers are being handled.
The configure option has explicitly thrown an error for more than a year now,
and it happens that the remaining way to still forcefully use it has been
broken for more than 8 months.
JS_STANDALONE builds don't need everything in mozglue; have mozglue omit the
unneeded code for such builds.
Since the SpiderMonkey binaries are now more like the other Gecko binaries, we
can remove some special cases for JS_STANDALONE in GeckoSharedLibrary,
GeckoProgram, etc. All Gecko binaries now use mozglue, which contains mfbt, so
we no longer need mention mfbt explicitly.
Add a property to the getBuildConfiguration testing function's result that
indicates whether we're using jemalloc or not.
Include the newly necessary source directories in the SpiderMonkey source
package.
We want the ability to read data from any moz.build file without needing
a full build configuration (running configure). This will enable tools
to consume metadata by merely having a copy of the source code and
nothing more.
This commit creates the EmptyConfig object. It is a config object that -
as its name implies - is empty. It will be used for reading moz.build
files in "no config" mode.
Many moz.build files make assumptions that variables in CONFIG are
defined and that they are strings. We create the EmptyValue type that
behaves like an empty unicode string. Since moz.build files also do some
type checking, we carve an exemption for EmptyValue, just like we do for
None.
We add a test to verify that reading moz.build files in "no config" mode
works. This required some minor changes to existing moz.build files to
make them work in the new execution mode.

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.

A new build tier is introduced: precompile. The intention is to replace
the export subtier with something better and nonrecursive. IPDL and
WebIDL code generation have been moved into this new tier and are
performed concurrently. This appears to reduce build times due to fewer
"single threaded" build actions.
The subtier tracking UI has been updated to reflect operations that can
occur in parallel. As subtiers are started, they turn yellow. They can
then complete in any order.
Nonrecursive targets have been added to preserve the IPDL and WebIDL
build targets such that developers can type |make| from leaf directories
like they have always done.
