This builds on the existing static components infrastructure to allow defining
a Services.jsm-type services cache with no runtime memory overhead for any
services until they're accessed.
Any class entry with a 'js_name' attribute automatically becomes available on
the services cache with that name, and any interfaces listed in its
'interfaces' list are automatically queried on it.

`nscore.h` includes `xpcom-config.h` which need not be generated for
non-XPCOM consumers. In additon, `nullptr` and `bool` are C++

The added include lines address transitive consumers of `nscore.h`.

This should be a relatively straightforward patch. Essentially, we implement
a wrapper class (and friends) around nsZipArchive (and friends), which transparently
caches entries from the underlying zip archive in the StartupCache. This will break
without changes to the StartupCache, made in the patch after this, which allow it
to be used off of the main thread, and outside the main process.

The overall goal of this patch is to make the StartupCache accessible anywhere.
There's two main pieces to that equation:
1. Allowing it to be accessed off main thread, which means modifying the
mutex usage to ensure that all data accessed from non-main threads is
protected.
2. Allowing it to be accessed out of the chrome process, which means passing
a handle to a shared cache buffer down to child processes.
Number 1 is somewhat fiddly, but it's all generally straightforward work. I'll
hope that the comments and the code are sufficient to explain what's going on
there.
Number 2 has some decisions to be made:
- The first decision was to pass a handle to a frozen chunk of memory down to
all child processes, rather than passing a handle to an actual file. There's
two reasons for this: 1) since we want to compress the underlying file on
disk, giving that file to child processes would mean they have to decompress
it themselves, eating CPU time. 2) since they would have to decompress it
themselves, they would have to allocate the memory for the decompressed
buffers, meaning they cannot all simply share one big decompressed buffer.
- The drawback of this decision is that we have to load and decompress the
buffer up front, before we spawn any child processes. We attempt to
mitigate this by keeping track of all the entries that child processes
access, and only including those in the frozen decompressed shared buffer.
- We base our implementation of this approach off of the shared preferences
implementation. Hopefully I got all of the pieces to fit together
correctly. They seem to work in local testing and on try, but I think
they require a set of experienced eyes looking carefully at them.
- Another decision was whether to send the handles to the buffers over IPC or
via command line. We went with the command line approach, because the startup
cache would need to be accessed very early on in order to ensure we do not
read from any omnijars, and we could not make that work via IPC.
- Unfortunately this means adding another hard-coded FD, similar to
kPrefMapFileDescriptor. It seems like at the very least we need to rope all
of these together into one place, but I think that should be filed as a
follow-up?
Lastly, because this patch is a bit of a monster to review - first, thank you
for looking at it, and second, the reason we're invested in this is because we
saw a >10% improvement in cold startup times on reference hardware, with a p
value less than 0.01. It's still not abundantly clear how reference hardware
numbers translate to numbers on release, and they certainly don't translate
well to Nightly numbers, but it's enough to convince me that it's worth some
effort.

Opening our Omnijars can be expensive, and it should be deferrable until after
startup is completed, provided we have a startup cache. In a previous patch in this
stack, we implemented caching of the zip central directory for omnijars, but we
still have to open the file in order to hand the object off to various omnijar
consumers. In a later patch, we will wrap nsZipArchive access in a class which
will allow us to transparently cache nsZipArchive results. These two get us
most of the way to not needing to read from the underlying omnijar files during
startup, but there are still nontrivial pieces, like nsZipFind for instance,
which we don't want to just duplicate inside of a wrapper class, so we would
like to sort out a way in which we can use an nsZipArchive class, but not
actually back it up with the real underlying file until we really need data
from it which we can't find in a cache.

Caching filenames in 32-entry LRU array covers >95% of calls, and makes the average `Filename()` call 5 to 10 times cheaper.

Since `ClearPoisonIOInterposer()` is never called (see bug 1647107), during Firefox shutdown we put LRUCache in a shutdown mode, which bypasses the cache in case it is still used at that time.
