Using a simple |const char*| is more memory-efficient than allocating a
JS string. We still have to allocate the JS string for passing things
into JS, but ideally we will be able to move the point of allocation
much closer to where it's actually needed, rather than indiscriminantly
doing it all the time.

In general, using an AutoJSAPI inited with an object is NOT the same as using
AutoSafeJSContext (or AutoJSAPI inited without an object) and then entering the
compartment of the object: the former will report exceptions to the global of
the object as it comes off the stack, while the latter will not. This only
really matters if we have an object from a window or worker global and hence
might fire error events, or report internal stuff to the web console.
The changes to initing with an object made in this bug are OK for the following
reasons:
1) dom/base/Console.cpp: Always clears its exception before coming off the stack.
2) dom/base/nsDOMClassInfo.cpp: Inits with a non-web global.
3) dom/base/nsFrameMessageManager.cpp: Inits with a non-web global.
4) dom/media/MediaPermissionGonk.cpp: We probably want the caller to notice if
anything here throws.
5) dom/xbl/nsXBLPrototypeBinding.cpp: Inits with a non-web global.
6) dom/xul/nsXULElement.cpp: Inits with a non-web global.
7) extensions/pref/autoconfig/src/nsJSConfigTriggers.cpp: Inits with a non-web global.
8) ipc/testshell/XPCShellEnvironment.cpp: Inits with a non-web global.

The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.
