Currently if you write an async IPDL method which has a return value, we expose
a SendXXX method which returns a MozPromise. This MozPromise can then be
->Then-ed to run code when it is resolved or rejected.
Unfortunately, using this API loses ordering guarantees which IPDL provides.
MozPromise::Then takes an event target, which the resolve runnable is dispatched
to. This means that the resolve callback's code doesn't have any ordering
guarantees relative to the processing of other IPC messages coming over the same
protocol.
This adds a new overload to SendXXX with two additional arguments, a lambda
callback which is called if the call succeeds, and a lambda callback which is
called if the call fails. These will be called in order with other IPC messages
sent over the same protocol.

Bug 1345294 introduced nsPrefBranch::{get,set}StringPref(), which allowed the
getting of utf8 strings from prefs, which previously required using
nsISupportsString with {get,set}ComplexValue. That bug also converted most
uses.
This patch finishes the job.
- It removes the nsISupportsString support.
- It converts existing code that relied on the nsISupportsString.
- It removes the lint that was set up to detect such uses of nsISupportsString.

These were originally exposed directly as static methods on nsGlobalWindow, but
as they are clearly associated with either the inner or outer window, it makes
more sense for them to be called as such.

This is a large patch which tries to switch many of the external consumers of
nsGlobalWindow to instead use the new Inner or Outer variants.

This class isn't being used right now, and MozURL is a much better alternative if interaction with rust URLs is required.

There are several ways that expanded principals can be used as triggering
principals for requests. While that works fine for security checks, it also
sometimes causes them to be inherited, and used as result principals in
contexts where expanded principals aren't allowed.
This patch changes our inheritance behavior so that expanded principals are
downgraded to the most appropriate constituent principal when they would
otherwise be inherited.
The logic for choosing the most appropriate principal is a bit suspect, and
may eventually need to be changed to always select the last whitelist
principal, but I chose it to preserve the current principal downgrade behavior
used by XMLHttpRequest for the time being.
