xpt files don't have a dependency on backend files to avoid rebuilding all
of them when adding or removing new files. On incremental builds, some kind
of dependencies are required to ensure the xpt files are refreshed when
adding or removing new idls.
Generating the list of idl deps to generate an xpt from its dependency list
makes us give all _previous_ dependencies, inherited from the .deps makefiles.
This leads to removed files being listed on xpidl-process.py command line, and
the command subsequently failing.
Instead, use generated lists of idl dependencies. At the same time, lighten the
generated Makefile further by not emitting xpt dependencies on their containing
directory, and instead generating it from the $xpt_files list.
This brings down the Makefile size from 100k to 38k.
Now that the mozbuild backend knows about FINAL_TARGET, we are able to
install generated xpt files into their final location. This saves us
from copying xpt files into their final location on every build.

See the revisions a few steps prior for more fine-grained information. This just
needs to be relanded because our automation doesn't like non-ASCII commit

With these substitutions, it is possible to have comm-central's versions of
these files merely include the mozilla-central versions and avoid having to port
small changes to these files.
win_srcdir is used as the Windows path for the srcdir, and so it needs to use
comm-central's topsrcdir to work properly. In contrast, WIN_TOP_SRC is really
only used to define BUILD_TOOLS, which refers to files in mozilla-central/build,
and so that can and should remain the mozilla-central topsrcdir.
This change allows us to use use MOZILLA_DIR even for changes in config.mk. The
corollary is that comm-central needs to define MOZILLA_DIR before calling into
baseconfig.mk, which it already does.
The change to the test Makefile is needed since it decides to skip including
config.mk, and hence baseconfig.mk, where it would need to grab the MOZILLA_DIR
declaration.
buildlist invocations are slow and can occur in parallel since the
underlying program obtains a lock on the modified file.
Moving the XPT-related buildlist invocation from the serial libs tier to
the parallel misc tier decreased my no-op build time on OS X from 43.5s
to 37.0s.

This used to be necessary to avoid the conflicting names between import
libraries and static libraries, but that's now prevented by the whole
moz.build machinery.
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.
This hack has actually not been actively used since sqlite, nss and nspr are
all folded together, because no shared library is actually linked in
db/sqlite3/src.
