The current situation is suboptimal, where we have the same goop
repeated in multiple files, and where things kinda sorta work out fine
thanks to the linker for files that would have been forbidden, except
when the linker doesn't do its job, which apparently happen on
mingwclang builds.
This change only really covers C++ code using operator new/delete, and
not things that would be using malloc/free, because it's easier.
malloc/free is left for a followup.

Consequently, this removes:
- MOZ_LIBPRIO, which is now always enabled.
- non_msvc_compiler, which is now always true.
- The cl.py wrapper, since it's not used anymore.
- CL_INCLUDES_PREFIX, which was only used for the cl.py wrapper.
- NONASCII, which was only there to ensure CL_INCLUDES_PREFIX still
worked in non-ASCII cases.
This however keeps a large part of detecting and configuring for MSVC,
because we still do need it for at least headers, libraries, and midl.

mozalloc_abort is not marked as a noreturn function on ARM, so clang
complains when abort calls mozalloc_abort, which calls MOZ_CRASH, which
calls abort(). We know this is OK, so just disable the warning.
This removes the unnecessary setting of c-basic-offset from all
python-mode files.
This was automatically generated using
perl -pi -e 's/; *c-basic-offset: *[0-9]+//'
... on the affected files.
The bulk of these files are moz.build files but there a few others as
well.

The Win32 has non-malloc based heap allocation functions. They are not
widely used in the Gecko code base, but there are a few places that do
use them. They could be replaced with uses of malloc/free/realloc or
new/delete, but there is now an entirely separate problem that
requires wrapping those functions: the Rust static libraries are using
those functions to allocate memory.
The patch removes 455 occurrences of FAIL_ON_WARNINGS from moz.build files, and
adds 78 instances of ALLOW_COMPILER_WARNINGS. About half of those 78 are in
code we control and which should be removable with a little effort.

There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree.
The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to
Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent
linkage, some standalone.
Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the
right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue
in most cases.
Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS
or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now
just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
