Upcoming tests rely heavily on promises. I just learned that browser
chrome tests support add_task() as an alternative to test(). This patch
ports the browser_experiments.js test and utilized utility functions
to use add_task() and promises.

Subsequent patches were running into race conditions and bugs related to
Experiments instance initialization state. This patch plugs the
necessary holes in initialization state management to unblock work.
The fixes are far from robust. There are still race conditions and bugs.
They should probably be addressed later.

There is a lot of boilerplate testing code that performs common
AddonManager operations. Some common operations used for testing
Experiments have been refactored into a testing-only JSM that lives as
part of the Add-ons Manager.

The experiments service insists on being in control of experiments.
Before, it wasn't being as assertive as it needed to be: other browser
components could install experiments behind its back. This patch
reasserts the experiments service as king of experiments add-on
management.

The change in 0633949f1000 was buggy. If a new Addon instance were
created, it would always return the value stored in the database. This
meant that if you set userDisabled = false and called getAddonByID(),
userDisabled would likely be reported as true.

The test experiments had unnecessary content in their install.rdf files.
<targetApplication> does not apply to experiment types and has been
removed.
The bootstrap setting is also implied and has been removed.

Experiment add-ons are now disabled by default on application load. It
is up to the Experiments Manager to enable them.
This means that experiments may not be able to reliably collect data or
modify behavior close to application startup. (There is a window between
when the Addon Manager initializes and when the Experiments Manager
initializes.) This window is acceptable for the initial version of the
experiments feature.
The Experiments Manager doesn't currently enable experiments on startup.
This will be addressed in a subsequent patch. Its tests do not regress
(indicating a lack of test coverage), so no harm no foul.

Experiment add-ons are installed and updated via the Experiments Manager
service. With this change, the Add-ons Manager lets experiment add-ons
play by their own rules without interference.

A new type of add-on is introduced: experiments.
Experiments are add-ons that conduct data experiments. They are deployed
to compatible clients and collect additional information about the
client.
