The need for --disable-install-strip in the mac mozconfigs comes from a
discrepancy in how stripping is handled between platforms. On Windows,
there is no stripping. On non-Mac unix, `strip` removes local symbols as
well as debug info and debug symbols. On Mac, it actually removes too
much, and one has to pass flags to remove both local symbols (`-x`) and
debug symbols (`-S`). Debug info is already in a separate file
(`.dSYM`).
For profiling reasons, we do ship e.g. nightlies with local symbols but
not debug info or symbols (or at least that's the intent). On Windows,
again, nothing to do. On non-Mac unix, we pass `--strip-debug` to
`strip` so that it keeps local symbols. That's where the discrepancy
comes in for Mac: the build system doesn't handle this at all, so the
mozconfigs contain --disable-install-strip to avoid stripping.
The build system should be doing what it's expected to be doing from the
start, without mozconfigs opting into anything.
AFAIK, we only really need the local symbols, so we can `strip -S` on
Mac when profiling is enabled, rather than `strip -x -S`. This also
significantly reduces the size of the installer for nightlies.
And while we're here, move the logic out of old-configure and into
python configure.

- Remove the separate option() for MT, because it dates back from when
we needed `MT` not being an absolute path, but that hasn't been true
since bug 1290040.
- Extend what was done in bug 1617794 to MT, although the long term move
is to not rely on MT at all.
- Patch leftovers from bug 1613799.

Windows programs run via Wine don't like Unix absolute paths (they look
like command line arguments), so we need to use relative paths.
Mingw already run fxc2 via wine, but for some reason it doesn't care
about the Unix absolute paths. genshaders does need some adjustements to
run properly with the real fxc.
Now, on actual Windows, because the temporary directory where
tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile creates files by default is not necessarily
on the same drive as where the command runs from, a relative path can't
be constructed. So we also force the temporary file to be created in the
current (obj) directory.
There is no similar concern for other files because we only go from
objdir to srcdir, and the build system already doesn't support both
being on a separate drive.
While here, flush stdout when the genshared script writes to it, so that
the messages are printed out immediately rather than randomly, later,
after output from subprocesses.

This patch make changes of Gecko infrastrutures to run a fork server
process.
- ForkServerLauncher is a component, which creates a fork server
process at XPCOM startup.
- nsBrowserApp.cpp and related files have been chagned to start a
fork server in a process.
- Logging and nsTraceRefcnt were changed to make it work with the
fork server.

We produce two types of build symbol archives in automation:
- "crashreporter-symbols.zip" contains Breakpad-format .sym files
- "crashreporter-symbols-full.zip" contains Breakpad-format .sym files
and compressed ELF debug symbol .dbg.gz files
Right now, `--enable-artifact-build-symbols` from Bug 1305502
downloads only "crashreporter-symbols.zip".
The Android Studio version of lldb, currently 7.0.0, doesn't support
Breakpad-format .sym files. It does support (uncompressed) ELF debug
symbols. (Note that gdb isn't supported on Android and hasn't been for
some time.)
This makes ` --enable-artifact-build-symbols` download the full
symbols for Android builds that aren't in automation, to be useful for
debugging Android builds with lldb locally.

Consequently, this removes:
- MOZ_LIBPRIO, which is now always enabled.
- non_msvc_compiler, which is now always true.
- The cl.py wrapper, since it's not used anymore.
- CL_INCLUDES_PREFIX, which was only used for the cl.py wrapper.
- NONASCII, which was only there to ensure CL_INCLUDES_PREFIX still
worked in non-ASCII cases.
This however keeps a large part of detecting and configuring for MSVC,
because we still do need it for at least headers, libraries, and midl.

When doing android cross builds, the target compiler might be clang,
but it might be the one from the NDK, which doesn't come with all the
tools. So `clang --print-prog-name=llvm-objdump` might not return
anything, when the system has a suffixed llvm-objdump, e.g.
llvm-objdump-6.0.
So it's better to check with the host compiler, which is likely clang
too. We still check with the target compiler, in the odd case where the
host and target compiler would be of different kinds (Windows
cross-builds).

LLVM_PROFDATA needs the toolchain search dir, per bug 1515579.
Also, most of the options actually don't do anything useful with
artifact builds. In fact, the only one that artifact builds would need
is MOZ_PGO. So we move to options back to toolchain.configure, somewhere
late enough ; except MOZ_PGO, that we move to the top-level
moz.configure (because we don't need a separate file for one option).
