Version of NSS >= 3.27 have a pkg-config file. We're now requiring 3.53,
so while moving, just use pkg-config, which is simpler.
The old-configure check that rejected some untested platforms for
in-tree NSS is actually rejecting none: the accepted platforms cover all
the supported ones, so we remove that check.
And because building with system NSS without system NSPR doesn't make
sense, imply the latter when the former is used.

At the same time, because it's now simpler to do so, set the right data
file name for big-endians, even though we don't have or produce it
(bug #1264836). Also remove USE_ICU, which is redundant with
JS_HAS_INTL_API, and actively break the build at configure time when
using --without-intl-api with Firefox because this hasn't actually
worked for close to 3 years (since bug 1402048).

Versions of NSPR >= 4.10 come with a pkg-config file. We currently
depend on 4.9.2 for spidermonkey, but much more recent versions for
Firefox. 4.10 is less than a year newer than 4.9.2, and 4.10 is 7 years
old, so bumping the requirement to 4.10 is not really a big deal.
With the use of pkg-config, --with-nspr-cflags and --with-nspr-libs are
not needed.
None of the AC_TRY_COMPILE tests were any useful because
PR_STATIC_ASSERT and PR_UINT64 have been when we look for them since
4.8.6 and 4.9 respectively.

As all versions of zlib >= 1.2.3.1 have a pkg-config file, and 1.2.3.1
is close to 14 years old, let's drop 1.2.3 and just use pkg-config, which
simplifies what we need to do dramatically.

iOS support for Gecko has not been tested in years and is most probably
out of date. The build system part of it, specifically the checks in
build/autoconf/ios.m4, are not trivial to port to python configure, and
they prevent other things from moving to python configure (because some
of them change value when MOZ_IOS is set).
The code is left alone, although it could probably be stripped off as
well, but I'll leave that as an exercise for someone else.

We've been relying on frame pointers being indirectly enabled via things
like --enable-profiling for some time, but this doesn't scale because
some things may want frame pointers while wanting --disable-profiling.
So we move MOZ_FRAMEPTR_FLAGS to python configure and add a new option
to decide whether to enable frame pointers or not.

Because we only ever run one subconfigure, the machinery to execute
several is not useful anymore. Inlining it allows to simplify the code
too, because it doesn't need to be generic anymore. This also removes
the last remaining bits of acwinpaths.m4.
Also remove now unused support for --list in build/subconfigure.py.

We're always setting -dead_strip on mac builds, per
cross-mozconfig.common, we might as well not do that and revert bug
638149, which disabled adding -dead_strip with LTO: that is apparently
not a problem anymore.

At the same time, we improve things slightly by deriving HOST_CC from CC
in a smarter way, as well as CXX from CC, which we weren't doing
previously.
Many related things are not moved at the same time to keep the patch
somehow "small".
The PR was fixed in early 2011. clang 3.3, the oldest version of clang
that we build with, was released in mid-2013. It's safe to say that all
versions of clang now have this fix, and we can delete the check.
Python and virtualenv logic is now contained within an m4 file.
SpiderMonkey now requires the mozilla-central virtualenv environment to
build. If SpiderMonkey configure is invoked by mozilla-central's
configure, the virtualenv will be reused. If SpiderMonkey configure is
invoked in isolation, it will search for the virtualenv in the
mozilla-central root.
