Summary:
This more closely matches the C++ names, and reflects the fact that the
reflected type is not WebIDL's mozilla::dom::Sequence. The reasoning behind this
type difference is for ergonomics, due to xpidl only being exposed to internal
JS code.

This is done so we can use Array as the name for the new nsTArray-based

Bug #: 1475409
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D2114
Summary:
This patch adds support for the `Sequence<T>` type. This is largely a
straightforward type propagation patch, but there are a few notable things:
1. We allow `[iid_is(x)] Sequence<nsQIResult>`, so Sequence can be Dependent.
2. `Sequence<T>` is reflected into C++ as a `nsTArray<T>`, which is different
than WebIDL's `mozilla::dom::Sequence<T>` type. This decision was made for
general ergonomics reasons, as `nsTArray<T>` is more prevailent throughout
the codebase, and lengths in this case cannot be controlled by content, as
XPConnect is only exposed to Chrome JS.
3. Owned pointers in `Sequence<T>` are not reflected as their owned
counterparts. For example, `Sequence<nsISupports>` is reflected as
`nsTArray<nsISupports*>` rather than `nsTArray<RefPtr<nsISupports>>`. This
was done to avoid depending on `RefPtr<T>` and `T*` having the same
in-memory representation, however if that is considered an acceptable
dependency, it would be nice to support that.
4. We also don't reflect singly-owned pointers as their owned counterparts. For
example, `nsTArray<nsIIDPtr>` would be reflected as `nsTArray<nsIID*>`
rather than `nsTArray<mozilla::UniquePtr<nsIID>>`. If we are willing to
depend on `mozilla::UniquePtr<T>`'s in-memory representation, we could also
do this, however.
5. There are no restrictions on what types can appear inside of a `Sequence<T>`
or what can appear inside an `[array] T`. We may want to add restrictions
either at the xpidl level or in XPConnect.

Bug #: 1474369
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D2110
Summary:
This patch allows parsing generic types, such as Sequence<T>, in XPIDL. It does
this by introducing a new type, TypeId, which contains both the name string and
an optional list of generic parameters.
Various places which use the xpidl.py library had to be updated to construct one
of these TypeId objects, as TypeId and `str` are not compatible types.

Bug #: 1474369
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D2109
Summary:
A goal of the Sequence<T> work is to allow using more complex types within lists
in XPConnect. For example, we ideally want to support `Sequence<AString>`,
rather than requiring people to use the unergonomic 'wstring' type.
These types require initialization before they can be read into. Currently this
initialization for parameters is directly handled by XPCWrappedNative's
CallMethodHelper object.
This patch introduces a new function to the `xpc` namespace to initialize a
specific value from an uninitialized state to a safe state.

Bug #: 1474369
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D2105
Currently we have three ways of representing hash values.
- uint32_t: used in HashFunctions.h.
- PLDHashNumber: defined in PLDHashTable.{h,cpp}.
- js::HashNumber: defined in js/public/Utility.h.
Functions that create hash values with functions from HashFunctions.h use a mix
of these three types. It's a bit of a mess.
This patch introduces mozilla::HashNumber, and redefines PLDHashNumber and
js::HashNumber as synonyms. It also changes HashFunctions.h to use
mozilla::HashNumber throughout instead of uint32_t.
This leaves plenty of places that still use uint32_t that should use
mozilla::HashNumber or one of its synonyms, but I didn't want to tackle that
now.
The patch also:
- Does similar things for the constants defining the number of bits in each
hash number type.
- Moves js::HashNumber from Utility.h to HashTable.h, which is a better spot
for it. (This required changing the signature of ScrambleHashCode(); that's
ok, it'll get moved by the next patch anyway.)

Everything that goes in a PLDHashtable (and its derivatives, like
nsTHashtable) needs to inherit from PLDHashEntryHdr. But through a lack
of enforcement, copy constructors for these derived classes didn't
explicitly invoke the copy constructor for PLDHashEntryHdr (and the
compiler didn't invoke the copy constructor for us). Instead,
PLDHashTable explicitly copied around the bits that the copy constructor
would have.
The current setup has two problems:
1) Derived classes should be using move construction, not copy
construction, since anything that's shuffling hash table keys/entries
around will be using move construction.
2) Derived classes should take responsibility for transferring bits of
superclass state around, and not rely on something else to handle
that.
The second point is not a huge problem for PLDHashTable (PLDHashTable
only has to copy PLDHashEntryHdr's bits in a single place), but future
hash table implementations that might move entries around more
aggressively would have to insert compensation code all over the place.
Additionally, if moving entries is implemented via memcpy (which is
quite common), PLDHashTable copying around bits *again* is inefficient.
Let's fix all these problems in one go, by:
1) Explicitly declaring the set of constructors that PLDHashEntryHdr
implements (and does not implement). In particular, the copy
constructor is deleted, so any derived classes that attempt to make
themselves copyable will be detected at compile time: the compiler
will complain that the superclass type is not copyable.
This change on its own will result in many compiler errors, so...
2) Change any derived classes to implement move constructors instead
of copy constructors. Note that some of these move constructors are,
strictly speaking, unnecessary, since the relevant classes are moved
via memcpy in nsTHashtable and its derivatives.
This new id is added in the PerformanceInfo data and helps consumers distinguish
counters.
