If a database actor already exists for given origin, reuse it instead of creating a new one. This improves memory footprint a bit and also eliminates some round trips to the parent process.
Storage events are fired either directly after getting response from synchronous SetItem call or through observers. When a new onstorage event listener is added, we sycnhronously register an observer in the parent process. There's always only one observer actor per content process.
PBackgroundLSDatabase is now managed by a new PBackgroundLSObject protocol. PBackgroundLSObject is needed to eliminate the need to pass the principal info and document URI everytime a write operation occurs.
Preparation of an observer shares some states with preparation of a datastore, so common stuff now lives in LSRequestBase and preparation of a datastore now implements a nested state machine.
This patch was enhanced by asuth to drop observers only when the last storage listener is removed.
EventListenerRemoved is invoked on any removal, not just the final removal, so we need to make sure it's the final removal before dropping observer.
The implementation is based on a cache (datastore) living in the parent process and sync IPC calls initiated from content processes.
IPC communication is done using per principal/origin database actors which connect to the datastore.
The synchronous blocking of the main thread is done by creating a nested event target and spinning the event loop.
This patch adds a new IPDL protocol PBackgroundLocalStorageCache. It is used by LocalStorageCache object to broadcast changes in local storage cache to other content processes. Each origin has its own PBackgroundLocalStorageCache, so now we can notify content processes that actually have a local storage cache for given origin. This greatly improves performance and reduces memory footprint especialy when local storage changes carry big strings and/or happen very quickly (before this patch all child processes were blindly notified).
This interface will allow extensions running into a content process to attach
a filtering stream listener to an HTTP request in the parent process. The
content process attaches a listener by sending a message from the content
process containing the ID of the request to filter, and the ID of the add-on
making the request. The permissions and request mappings for this are handled
by the web request service added in part 2.

PHttpBackgroundChannel is introduced to deliver OnStopRequest/OnTransportAndData/OnProgress/OnStatus on background thread.
FlushedForDiversion/DivertMessages is moved to PHttpBackgroundChannel to ensure no more channel event are delivered after these two messages on the background channel.
OnStartRequestSent is introduced to synchronize the execution order between OnStartRequest (main thread IPC) and all other messages on PHttpBackgroundChannel.

Takes functionality once in the WebAuthentication DOM class that needs
to be handled by the content process, and moves it to a
singleton (per-content-process) manager class. This allows the
WebAuthn API to centralize management of transactions and IPC
channels. Patch also creates the child (content-process) classes for
WebAuthn IPC channels.

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.
