Right now, NS_GENERIC_FACTORY_SINGLETON_CONSTRUCTOR expects singleton
constructors to return already-addrefed raw pointers, and while it accepts
constructors that return already_AddRefed, most existing don't do so.
Meanwhile, the convention elsewhere is that a raw pointer return value is
owned by the callee, and that the caller needs to addref it if it wants to
keep its own reference to it.
The difference in convention makes it easy to leak (I've definitely caused
more than one shutdown leak this way), so it would be better if we required
the singleton getters to return an explicit already_AddRefed, which would
behave the same for all callers.
This also cleans up several singleton constructors that left a dangling
pointer to their singletons when their initialization methods failed, when
they released their references without clearing their global raw pointers.

Going through the extension policy service rather than using
WebExtensionPolicy objects directly adds a lot of unnecessary overhead to
common operations on extension principals, and also makes the code more
complicated than it needs to be.
We also use weak references to policy objects here, since principals should
ideally lose as much of their elevated privileges as possible once the
extension instance that created them has been destroyed (which is something we
couldn't handle easily when we simply tracked ID strings).

We should not be declaring forward declarations for nsString classes directly,
instead we should use nsStringFwd.h. This will make changing the underlying
types easier.

Most of the names passed to nsIStringBundle::{Get,Format}StringFromUTF8Name
have one of the two following forms:
- a 16-bit C string literal, which is then converted to an 8-bit string in
order for the lookup to occur;
- an 8-bit C string literal converted to a 16-bit string, which is then
converted back to an 8-bit string in order for the lookup to occur.
This patch introduces and uses alternative methods that can take an 8-bit C
string literal, which requires changing some signatures in other methods and
functions. It replaces all C++ uses of the old methods.
The patch also changes the existing {Get,Format}StringFromName() methods so
they take an AUTF8String argument for the name instead of a wstring, because
that's nicer for JS code.
Even though there is a method for C++ code and a different one for JS code,
|binaryname| is used so that the existing method names can be used for the
common case in both languages.
The change reduces the number of NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16 and
NS_ConvertUTF16toUTF8 conversions while running Speedometer v2 from ~270,000 to
~160,000. (Most of these conversions involved the string
"deprecatedReferrerDirective" in nsCSPParser.cpp.)

This change renames OriginAttributes.mInBrowser to mInIsolatedMozBrowser and
nsIPrincipal::GetIsInBrowserElement to GetIsInIsolatedMozBrowserElement. Other
methods that pass these values around also have name changes.
Tokens such as "inBrowser" have previously been serialized into cache keys, used
as DB column names, stored in app registries, etc. No changes are made to any
serialization formats. Only runtime method and variable names are updated.
No behavior changes are made in this patch, so some renamed methods may have
nonsensical implementations. These are corrected in subsequent patches
focused on behavior.
