LocaleService serves two main functions. It is a central place for all code in the
engine to learn about locales, but it also does the language negotiation and selection.
The former is relevant in all processes, but the latter should only be performed
by the "main" process. In case of current Desktop Firefox, the parent process
is the one performing all the language negotiation, and content processes should
operate in the "client" mode.
In Fennec, there's a Java app on top of Gecko which should work as a "server"
and then all processes, including parent process of Gecko is merely a "client" for that.
This refactor finalizes this duality making it easily configurable to define in
which mode a given LocaleService operates.
The server-client model allows all clients to stay in sync with the server,
but operate transparently for all callers just returning the right values.
In order to initialize LocaleService in the client mode in child process with the
right locales I'm adding the list of app locales to the XPCOMInitData,
and then fire LocaleService::SetAppLocales in the child process initialization.
In order to keep the list up to date, I'm adding intl:app-locales-changed to
the list of observed topics, and when triggered, I send the updated list
to the child process, which updates LocaleService::SetAppLocales with the new
list.

IPCBlobInputStream is a new type of nsIInputStream that is used only in content
process when a Blob is sent from parent to child. This inputStream is for now,
just cloneable.
When the parent process sends a Blob to a content process, it has the Blob and
its inputStream. With its inputStream it creates a IPCBlobInputStreamParent
actor. This actor keeps the inputStream alive for following uses (not part of
this patch).
On the child side we will have, of course, a IPCBlobInputStreamChild actor.
This actor is able to create a IPCBlobInputStream when CreateStream() is
called. This means that 1 IPCBlobInputStreamChild can manage multiple
IPCBlobInputStreams each time one of them is cloned. When the last one of this
stream is released, the child actor sends a __delete__ request to the parent
side; the parent will be deleted, and the original inputStream, on the parent
side, will be released as well.
IPCBlobInputStream is a special inputStream because each method, except for
Available() fails. Basically, this inputStream cannot be used on the content
process for nothing else than knowing the size of the original stream.
In the following patches, I'll introduce an async way to use it.
We add a new "on-off" protocol PURLClassifierLocal which calls
nsIURIClassifier.asyncClassifyLocalWithTables on construction and
calls back on destruction. Pretty much the same design as PURLClassifier.
In order to avoid code duplication, the actor implementation is templatized
and |MaybeInfo| in PURLClassifier.ipdl is moved around.
Test case is included and the custom event target is not in place for labelling.
The custom event target will be done in Bug 1353701.

This is the most important part of the patch series. It removes the
PScreenManager protocol and use ScreenManager directly in the content
processes.
Initial and subsequent updates are sent via PContent::RefreshScreens.
struct ScreenDetails are kept to serialize Screen over IPC.
nsIScreenManager::ScreenForNativeWidget is removed because
nsIWidget::GetWidgetScreen can replace it. nsIScreen::GetId is removed
because it's not useful for the more general Screen class.

It's not used anywhere. Remove it will make removing PScreenManager
easier.
