GENERATED_FILES and accessible/xpcom/Makefile.in add to EXTRA_MDDEPEND_FILES, but for
targets that run during export. Export doesn't include EXTRA_MDDEPEND_FILES, so none
of them is ending up with correct dependencies. The EXTRA_EXPORT_MDDEPEND_FILES variable
could be used for this purpose, but given the circumstances this variable is removed,
and EXTRA_MDDEPEND_FILES is instead included unconditionally.

The configure option has explicitly thrown an error for more than a year now,
and it happens that the remaining way to still forcefully use it has been
broken for more than 8 months.
It was added back in
5147d5c69f
for unclear reasons (and the lack of bug number doesn't help), and hasn't been
used, as far as I can see in the gecko-dev history, other than in bug 206029,
which is the only use currently in the tree.
Bug 206029 was working around the Flash player installer modifying Firefox's
prefs file and not dealing with it properly or something depending on the line
endings. 11 years later, all prefs files except channel-prefs.js are in
omni.ja, so obviously, bug 206029 doesn't actually apply anymore.
So, let's simplify it all and get rid of this.
The flags added in toolkit/locales/Makefile.in turn out not to be actually
used, so just remove that.
The remaining uses of XULPPFLAGS are to set debug flags depending on whether
MOZ_DEBUG is set or not. Just set a dedicated variable with the right value
from configure.
Optimised Rust compilation is enabled on passing --enable-optimize to
the configure script. This sets the RUSTFLAGS output variable that gets
picked up by the compile targets RSOBJS and RSSRCS and passed to rustc.

Add .rs as a recognized file extension in SOURCES.
Propagate that through to the Makefile backend and add a dependency
generated and an explicit rule to call $(RUSTC) to compile them.
rustc builds static libraries, not obj files. At least, if one
asks it to output an obj file, I'm not clear how to get all the
compiler-specific runtime libraries the code will expect to link
to. Therefore we generate a static library for each rust source
file (which must be a complete crate for the time being) and link
that. Because of the extension it ends up on the LIBS line in the
the corresponding .desc file.
Note that the static library does still depend on some system
libraries, e.g. -ldl -lpthread -lm on linux. Gecko already
links to all of those, so we don't keep track of it here.
Should we need to add explicit linkage for other targets,
rustc does print a list to stderr which can be parsed.

Now that moz.build can see EXTRA_*COMPONENTS and NO_JS_MANIFEST, we can
move some logic from rules.mk (executed every build) to moz.build's
emitter.py (executed only at build-backend time).
Now that the mozbuild backend knows about FINAL_TARGET, we are able to
install generated xpt files into their final location. This saves us
from copying xpt files into their final location on every build.

With these substitutions, it is possible to have comm-central's versions of
these files merely include the mozilla-central versions and avoid having to port
small changes to these files.
This change allows us to use use MOZILLA_DIR even for changes in config.mk. The
corollary is that comm-central needs to define MOZILLA_DIR before calling into
baseconfig.mk, which it already does.
The change to the test Makefile is needed since it decides to skip including
config.mk, and hence baseconfig.mk, where it would need to grab the MOZILLA_DIR
declaration.
buildlist invocations are slow and can occur in parallel since the
underlying program obtains a lock on the modified file.
Moving the XPT-related buildlist invocation from the serial libs tier to
the parallel misc tier decreased my no-op build time on OS X from 43.5s
to 37.0s.

This used to be necessary to avoid the conflicting names between import
libraries and static libraries, but that's now prevented by the whole
moz.build machinery.
There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree.
The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to
Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent
linkage, some standalone.
Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the
right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue
in most cases.
Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS
or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now
just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
Ever since bug 969164, the js build system, when building gecko (not when
building standalone) uses a autoconf-js.mk file for its config.
One of the suboptimal ways we have to retrigger builds when the build
configuration changes (changes to e.g. configure.in can do that) is to
make most things depend on autoconf.mk. Which unfortunately doesn't
account for the fact the js/src subdirectory uses a different file.
In practice, this means that some classes of changes to the js build
system, not accompanied with toplevel build system changes may no
trigger the corresponding rebuilds in the js subtree on incremental
builds.
Currently, when there is both an expandlibs descriptor and an actual static
library, expandlibs picks the static library. This has the side effect that
if there are object files in the static library that aren't directly used,
they're dropped when linking, even when they export symbols that would be
exported in the final linked binary.
In most cases in the code base, files are not dropped that way. The most
notable counter-example is xpcomglue, where actually not dropping files
leads to link failure because of missing symbols those files reference
(yes, that would tend to say the glue is broken in some way).
On the opposite side, there is mozglue, which does have both a descriptor
and a static library (the latter being necessary for the SDK), and that
linking as a static library drops files that shouldn't be dropped (like
jemalloc). We're currently relying on -Wl,--whole-archive for those files
not to be dropped, but that won't really be possible without much hassle
in a world where mozglue dependencies live in moz.build land.
Switching expandlibs to use descriptors when they exist, even when there
is a static library (so, the opposite of the current behavior) allows to
drop -Wl,--whole-archive and prepare for a better future. However, as
mentioned, xpcomglue does still require to be linked through the static
library, so we need to make it a static library only.
To achieve that, we make NO_EXPAND_LIBS now actually mean no expandlibs
and use that to build the various different xpcomglues.
OS_LIBS for libraries that are not part of the gecko tree, EXTRA_LIBS for
libraries, such as NSPR, that are in the tree, but are not handled by
moz.build just yet. Those EXTRA_LIBS may also come from a system library.
However, in cases where the expanded variables are always empty for the
in-tree case, OS_LIBS is used (as for, e.g. MOZ_ZLIB_LIBS). OS_LDFLAGS is
used exclusively for non-library linker flags.
Always pass EXTRA_LIBS before OS_LIBS on linker command lines.
Forbid EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS, SHARED_LIBRARY_LIBS and LIBS in Makefiles.
Before making top-level traverse js/src moz.build files, there was a need to
distinguish between top-level traversing e.g. top-level moz.build or
config/moz.build and js/src traversing them. With a single traversal of both
moz.build sets, we now only need to distinguish between js standalone builds
and gecko builds.
There is still, however, a need to distinguish between top-level vs. js/src
configure runs on gecko builds to make them subconfigure icu and libffi from
top-level instead of js/src in js standalone builds, or when choosing to make
js/src's config.status do something when run or not.
