Upon a content process crash or hang crash annotations were incrementally
written into the .extra file starting with the exception handler callback and
then in a number of different places before the file was ready for submission.
This had a number of downsides: since the annotations were directly added to
the file it was impossible to tell which ones were already written at a
certain point in time, additionally some were written twice or even thrice.
The code doing the writing would also behave differently depending on the
contents of the file, the parameters passed to it and the contents of global
variables.
This change overhauls the whole process by keeping the annotations into a
temporary per-crash annotation table which is filled with all the required
annotations before being written out in a single pass when they are ready.
The annotations are gathered from the main process annotation table, the
per-process one (held by the CrashReporterHost) and exception-time specific
ones.
The resulting annotations are slightly different than before the patch: first
of all there are no more duplicate entries in the .extra file and secondly all
content/plugin process hangs annotations are properly filtered, before
annotations that were main process-only would leak into them.

The definitions can't be entirely removed yet because NSS still needs them.

This reverts the changes in bug 1360308, bug 1390143 and bug 1469603. Minidump
generation will now only happen on the main process' main thread which might
lead to hangs but is known to be fairly robust. Asynchronous generation proved
too brittle and enormously increased the complexity of this already
hard-to-read code.

This introduces the machinery needed to generate crash annotations from a YAML
file. The relevant C++ functions are updated to take a typed enum. JavaScript
calls are unaffected but they will throw if the string argument does not
correspond to one of the known entries in the C++ enum. The existing whitelists
and blacklists of annotations are also generated from the YAML file and all
duplicate code related to them has been consolidated. Once written out to the
.extra file the annotations are converted in string form and are no different
than the existing ones.
All existing annotations have been included in the list (and some obsolete ones
have been removed) and all call sites have been updated including tests where
appropriate.

This removes the need for the content process to have permissions to create new
files on macOS, allowing more aggressive sandboxing.
