We need content processes that are created but not finished launching
(not "alive" yet) to be treated differently from ones that have exited
(no longer "alive"), so the boolean mIsAlive is expanded to a 3-state
enumeration, which could be expanded more in the future if needed.
(This is similar to GeckoChildProcessHost::mProcessState, but it's
synchronized with the rest of the ContentParent's state, which can lag
the GeckoChildProcessHost state due to runnable dispatch.)
This patch also removes mIsAvailable/IsAvailable/MarkAsTroubled, which
are unused as of bug 1459212.

This patch adds some telemetry histograms:
* CONTENT_PROCESS_LAUNCH_IS_SYNC - boolean, true if the content process
was launched synchronously (blocking the main thread)
* CONTENT_PROCESS_SYNC_LAUNCH_MS - the time consumed by sync launch;
the main thread will be busy or blocked for this entire time
* CONTENT_PROCESS_LAUNCH_TOTAL_MS - the total time elapsed from the
start of async content process launch until the launch promise is
resolved and the ContentParent can be sent IPDL messages
* CONTENT_PROCESS_LAUNCH_MAINTHREAD_MS - the time consumed on the parent
process main thread during async content process launch; typically this
is due to ContentParent::Init.
* CHILD_PROCESS_LAUNCH_MS - for any kind of Gecko child process
(including plugins, GPU, etc.), the time taken in the common process
launch code (which is run off-main-thread)
The probes restricted to async content process launch don't have "async"
in the name because that will eventually become the only kind of content
process launch.

There are several layers to this patch:
1. GeckoChildProcessHost now exposes a promise that's resolved when
the process handle is available (or rejected if launch failed), as a
nonblocking alternative to LaunchAndWaitForProcessHandle.
2. ContentParent builds on this with the private method
LaunchSubprocessAsync and the public method PreallocateProcessAsync;
synchronous launch continues to exist for the regular on-demand launch
path, for the time being.
3. PreallocatedProcessManager now uses async launch, and handles the new
"launch in progress" state appropriately.

The first attempt at async launch tried to hide the asynchrony inside
IPC, by making the process seem to be launched enough to construct new
channels and send it messages, and lazily blocking on the pid/handle.
Unfortunately, in practice we wind up needing the pid/handle immediately,
and this requirement is too deeply embedded in IPC for that to be viable.
(The alternative that will be used instead -- exposing process launch via
an explicitly asynchronous promise interface -- is made simpler by
Project Fission's upcoming rewrite of how the DOM requests new content
processes.)

By replacing nsWebBrowser's implementation of the
nsIBaseWindow.initWindow and nsIBaseWindow.create with a new static
nsWebBrowser::Create method we make it possible to pass arguments
directly when creating an nsWebBrowser, for example the opener
BrowsingContext. As a bonus we can do away with
nsWebBrowser::mInitInfo!

This commit removes the PRenderFrame protocol, while keeping the same ordering
and semantics of graphics IPC initialization.
To do this, some messages are added to PBrowser to simulate the constructor
and destructor of PRenderFrame. Messages that expected a nullable PRenderFrame
are updated to get a boolean instead.
One tricky area is the destruction of PRenderFrame. I've tried to keep it the
same as much as possible, but it's possible it might be slightly semantically
different than IPDL destruction. Destruction will be touched up in a later
patch, so I'm not too concerned.

This reverts the changes in bug 1360308, bug 1390143 and bug 1469603. Minidump
generation will now only happen on the main process' main thread which might
lead to hangs but is known to be fairly robust. Asynchronous generation proved
too brittle and enormously increased the complexity of this already
hard-to-read code.

This moves the code that detects very low memory scenarios and grabs memory
reports from the main thread event-loop to the available memory tracker.
Besides removing the overhead of the check from the event-loop code this
increases the likeliness of the reports being gathered by sampling at a
higher frequency but only when we already detected a low-memory scenario. Last
but not least this add checks for low commit-space detection alongside low
virtual-memory detection.

Have BrowsingContext keep its own cache to enable caching of
BrowsingContexts, especially in the parent process.
This isn't really optimal, since it effectively duplicates the
cache in the child process. BFcache keeps a list of strong pointers to
the list of cached nsDocShells, where each nsDocShell in turn keeps a
reciprocated strong pointer to its BrowsingContext, which in turn is
held in the BrowsingContexts list of cached contexts. Ideally these
caches should be merged.

on the status of the asynchronous task using a promise.
