The Mozilla Location Service is the fallback for gpsd. If no location
information is received from GSP within a few seconds, MLS provides a
position. It will be updated once GPS is ready. If GPS fails, MLS will
take over again until GPS has been restored.
This patch adds the gpsd location provider to |nsGeolocationService|.
On release builds, the new provider is *not* used by default, as GPS
is slow to start and unreliable indoors. To enable gpsd, users with a
supported GPS receiver must set the preference 'geo.location.use_gpsd'
to 'true'.
On non-release builds, the gpsd location provider is enabled by default
to give it some testing.

Gpsd is the GPS daemon on Linux. It implements support for a wide range
of GPS receivers. This patch adds support for gpsd to the Geolocation
module.
The build system can now test for libgps, which provides the public
interface to gpsd's functionality. If found, |GpsdLocationProvider|
is added to the build.

We don't actually need to re-calculate if the updated properties are the
same as the old one. This change avoids problematic nested calls of
nsStyleSet::GetContext() in particular cases.

This patch replaces all references to |nsAutoPtr| in widget/ by references
to |UniquePtr|. |nsAutoPtr| is deprecated and will go away soon.

This ended up being a bigger change than I had hoped for but
it updates the WebAPITask helper in amWebAPI.js so that errors
returned from the parent process are immediately wrapped into
Error objects from the content page. In this way, programming
errors or other internal errors don't leak out to mozAddonManager
users.
The way the previous code managed window references using "this"
was already a bit fussy, this patch only makes it worse. But I
think this basic logical structure here is right and since this
bug is responsible for widespread breakage, I'd like to get this
checked in and then clean it up in a follow-up.

This will permit us to plug in other HomeScreen implementations as needed.
