This adjusts how all actors created using `Endpoint` behave so that they now
use ports instead of creating a unique native channel connection between each
pair of processes.

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.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D116669
This is used because, unlike in Mojo, we cannot get from the IPC::Message
object to its enclosing UserMessageEvent object to attach more ports to it, and
this extra parameter makes that easy to do.

This extends on the changes in part 12a and consumes the new PortRef-based API
in all existing process types other than the fork server. The IPDL C++ unit
tests were already broken before this change, and were not updated.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D112777
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.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D112776
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.

These will be used to serialize extra event metadata into IPC messages when

* We make `EnsureMTA`'s default constructor `private`, and `ProcessRuntime` a friend.
`ProcessRuntime` calls this to eagerly create the MTA.
* The default constructor uses the new-ish `CoIncrementMTAUsage` to create the
MTA without requiring a dedicated thread (when available). Otherwise we
fall back to the traditional method. In the latter case, we synchronously
wait for the initialization to complete so that we are guaranteed to have
an MTA when we return.
* Some minor refactoring to make it easier to do the sync wait in the
default constructor. I also renamed a couple of things just to make them
more clear.

This patch does the following:
* General cleanup:
* More explicit restrictions of how/when the various constructors are available.
* `InitializeSecurity` is made `static`, since it doesn't really manipulate instance variables.
* We move some logic for resolving `CoInitializeEx` flags into `GetDesiredApartmentType`.
* Addition of `PostInit`:
* This doesn't do anything at the moment, but since I'm already making a bunch
of changes, I wanted to add this too. `PostInit` is a static method that
is invoked once the `ProcessRuntime` is finished initializing, and, when
present, the sandbox is fully enabled.
* We call `EnsureMTA`'s default constructor to eagerly bring up the MTA. This
causes all background threads to implicitly become members of the MTA, which
means that we can eliminate `CoInitializeEx` calls throughout our codebase,
since they're slow and most developers do not have a clear understanding of
what those functions actually do.
* This also simplifies the COM initialization in sandboxed content processes
with Win32K lockdown, since if our main thread is in the implicit MTA, we
can immediately initialize ourselves without needing to punt that work
over to the persistent MTA thread.

This patch sets up a few different things that will be used by the WER runtime
exception module when it needs to notify the main process of a child process
crash.
For every child process we allocate a structure in the main process called
WindowsErrorReportingData that contains three things:
- The address of the function used to notify the main process that there's a
pending minidump for a given child process
- The PID of said child process
- The name of the minidump that has been generated
The first field is filled up by the main process and will be read by the WER
process when running the runtime exception module, the second and third fields
on the other hand start empty and will be written into by the runtime exception
module after it has generated a minidump.
I know this sounds scary. It is. But bear with me please.
When we register the runtime exception module we can pass it a single
pointer-sized parameter but we need to pass it at least another pointer that
includes data coming from the child process itself (this one is called
InProcessWindowsErrorReportingData). This data currently includes only the
process type but will also include certain annotations in the future
(e.g. bug 1711418). So here's what we do: we store a pointer to the parent
data structure in the child process command-line (cringe) and we read it
from the runtime exception module by reading the crashed process command-line
arguments and parsing them (double-cringe).
Armed with this information the WER runtime exception module can populate
the info for the generated minidump and then push it into the main process
by calling CreateRemoteThread() (which creates a new thread in the main
process, triple-cringe at this point).

This patch adds a UnstrippedURI into the LoadInfo. This attribute
represents the channel's URI has been stripped if this attributes is not
a nullptr.
Having this attribute allows us to be able to revert the query stripping
in the case where the loading channel is in the content blocking allow
list in the parent process.
In addition, this patch removes the main thread assertion in URIUtils
given that we've made the URL construction thread-safe. This will allow
us to be able to use nsIURI directly in ParentLoadInfoForwarderArgs.

This is almost certainly a very small optimization, and likely won't address
the frequency of hangs from bug 1677509. However, it still should be an
improvement, and will work on anything Vista or later.
We observed as part of trying to diagnose the somewhat mysterious bug 1677509
that sometimes multiple messages would be queued, and yet the IPC I/O thread
would go idle in between servicing them in GetQueuedCompletionStatusEx. Given
that we send frequent sync ipc messages for mouse move events, it seems prudent
to be able to service multiple at a time.

This change adds the ground work to share content provided by the JS engine of
the Parent process to initialize the JS engine of other threads and Content
processes.
The singleton class xpc::SelfHostedShmem is used to wrap the logic behind
holding the memory. The memory is initialized with `InitFromParent` or
`InitFromChild`. The memory is accessible using either the `Content` or
`Handle`.
The shared memory is transfered through the command line using
`mozilla::ipc::ExportSharedJSInit` and read using
`mozilla::ipc::ImportSharedJSInit` functions. The command line is used, as we
need the shared memory to be avilable for the JS engine initialization. The
command line is composed of a single command named `-jsInit` which is followed
by the handle (on Windows) and the length of the shared content.
The memory associated with the shared memory is cleared in `ShutdownXPCOM` after
closing all threads, and shuting down the JS engine. This is necessary as we
expect the JS engine to borrow content from the shared memory.
