Currently if you write an async IPDL method which has a return value, we expose
a SendXXX method which returns a MozPromise. This MozPromise can then be
->Then-ed to run code when it is resolved or rejected.
Unfortunately, using this API loses ordering guarantees which IPDL provides.
MozPromise::Then takes an event target, which the resolve runnable is dispatched
to. This means that the resolve callback's code doesn't have any ordering
guarantees relative to the processing of other IPC messages coming over the same
protocol.
This adds a new overload to SendXXX with two additional arguments, a lambda
callback which is called if the call succeeds, and a lambda callback which is
called if the call fails. These will be called in order with other IPC messages
sent over the same protocol.

The lifetime of async IPDL returned promise may be longer than its actor.
That is, the handler (receiver) may have not resolve/reject the promise when the actor
is destroyed. In this case, we have to reject all the pending promises before
ActorDestroy() is called on the "sender" side.
Besides, the handler (receiver) can reject with reason "ActorDestroyed" to silently
cancel the promise without trying to reply to the remote actor which may
have died. The sender-side promise is responsible for rejecting the pending promises,
which will be done in MessageChannel::RejectPendingPromisesForActor().

The wrapper should have the same liftime as the underlying
MessageLoop. This patch use the MessageLoop's DestructionObserver to
manage the lifetime of the wrapper.

In order to avoid a busy wait where we defer and then immediately un-defer a message,
we need to ensure that we only un-defer a message if it's actually ready to be processed.
This patch uses the same condition in MaybeUndeferIncall as we use in
DispatchInterruptMessage.

This patch implements async returns for IPDL using MozPromises. There
are following changes:
* Initialize AbstractThreads for MessageLoops
* Record promises and their reject functions
* When async message returns, call their resolve functions
* When send error or channel close, call their reject functions
* Implement "unresolved-ipc-promises" count for about:memory
* Test cases
See bug attachment for generated code from test cases

If Firefox is updated while it is running, the content process can end
up being a different version than the parent process. This can cause
odd crashes, that will happen repeatedly until the user restarts
Firefox. To handle this better, this patch adds a special build ID
message that is sent early in content process startup. The parent
process intentionally crashes if the build ID for the child process
does not match that of the parent process.

We will use the new type for the generated IPDL message handler
prototype to make sure correct error handling method is called.

With this change, MessageChannel stores mListener as an IToplevelProtocol
rather than a MessageListener (which isn't really a useful concept on
its own). The MessageListener methods are split out to IProtocol and
IToplevelProtocol. MessageListener gets deleted. Some of the inline
functions in MessageChannel had to be moved to MessageChannel.cpp since
IToplevelProtocol isn't defined in MessageChannel.h.
