We can move this information into ProtocolState and save having two
virtual functions for every protocol. Moving some bits out of the
codegen'd IPC code is a nice bonus, though we keep the strange setup
where toplevel protocols have two mChannel member variables.
ProtocolName() is only used for producing error messages and annotating
crash reports. But examining actual crash reports that would have used
the result of ProtocolName() indicates that we can always tell what the
erroring protocol is due to the stack backtrace. So having this virtual
function around just provides duplicate information, and it takes up too
much space in the vtable besides. Let's get rid of it.
lower.py generates repetitious:
SetManager(...);
Register(...); // Or RegisterID.
SetIPCChannel(...);
calls, which are moderately sized, given that the above call sequence
requires virtual calls in several places. Instead of codegenning this
sequence, let's consolidate the sequence into IProtocol and change the
code generator to call into the consolidated function instead.
This function is only overriden in two places, both of which go away
after early beta is done. We shouldn't be paying for its vtable entry
after that point.
The reasoning here is the same as for the protocol register/lookup
functions: these functions are all basic functionality that should not
be overriden by subclasses.
This functionality is base functionality for top-level and non-toplevel
protocols; nobody overrides this stuff, so it's safe to move into
ProtocolState.
IProtocol, which is inherited by every generated IPDL protocol and every
concrete protocol implementation in-tree, has a number of virtual
methods that are only relevant when distinguishing between top-level
protocols (IToplevelProtocol) and managed protocols (everything else).
These virtual methods require pointers in every protocol's vtable, which
is wasteful, and it's also somewhat confusing that many methods exist
but don't really need to be overridable in any useful way.
Let's clean this up, by creating a ProtocolState class to hold methods
that solely differ between top-level protocols and everything else.
This commit does that work and moves Shmem-related methods into this
class as a proof that this can be done in a reasonable way.
They are not yet fully async because ContentParent::InitInternal calls
OtherPid(), which will block until the process is spawned. Deferring the calls
to OtherPid() will be a subject of a follow up patch.

Never store names in Message. One can get string names from
Message::name() or use IPC::StringFromIPCMessageType() when only
message id is available.

We only ever use these for passing them into Endpoint construction.
Let's remove them. Removing them also shows that the corresponding
field in Endpoint is essentially read-only, so we can completely avoid
passing in protocol IDs to Endpoint.
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.

Using a separate error function will distinguish mismatched sentinels

Every new PBrowser, whether it's created by the parent or the child, needs
to get a TabGroup assigned to it. That way IPC messages for the PBrowser will
be dispatched to that TabGroup.
For new PBrowsers created by the child, we just create a new TabGroup or reuse
the opener's TabGroup.
For PBrowsers created by the parent, the child needs to intercept the
PBrowserConstructor message and assign a TabGroup immediately. PBrowsers created
by the parent never have an opener so we can always create a new TabGroup.
In both cases, the nsGlobalWindow::TabGroupOuter logic needs to be updated to
read the TabGroup out of the IPC code. Otherwise the DOM and IPC code will get
out of sync about TabGroups.
