The speedup here is not great because the Python/IPDL parser overhead is
very high, but this cuts ~10 seconds off a `-j12` build (~15s -> 4s) on
my machine.

I don't think all this complexity is worth it for having a

do that, I think.

This method always copies, and is redundant with the other getter methods on
IPDL unions. As there is only one caller, it can be removed to simplify the
code, and remove a source of complexity.

Fix intermittent issues due to races.
We now run the MozPromise generated by the IPDL bindings to run their callbacks via a direct task dispatch.
This avoids a full trip to the back of the event queue for each additional asynchronous step when using MozPromise.
A consequence to this change is that each IPDL actor's thread must have an AbstractThread allocated if IPDL MozPromises are used.
It prevents unexpected racy behaviours when combining MozPromise with the other Resolve/Reject IPDL async declaration which was have lead to processing the events out of order.

The hashes of certain strings is used indirectly in generating IDL C++ files. Before, we were using the `hash()` function to generate these hashes, which in Python 3 is non-deterministic over subsequent `python3` processes, causing bugs like bug 1635755. Instead, use a specific, deterministic hash to avoid spurious diff failures.
The `md5` hash function isn't completely cryptographically secure but the security of the hashes isn't important for us in this case since we're just using them as a per-string identifier. We could use a more robust hash function but there may be performance implications from doing so.

`ply`, [by design](https://github.com/dabeaz/ply/issues/79), does not produce reproducible table files; hence bug 1633156. (Note that this was *always* true, but only became a problem once we switched to Python 3, which has more unpredictable dict iteration order than Python 2.7, at least prior to [3.7](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.7.html#summary-release-highlights).)
In any other circumstance I would consider submitting a patch to `ply` to fix this, but as of the [in-progress version 4.0 of the library](https://github.com/dabeaz/ply/blob/master/CHANGES), it doesn't even emit this cached data any more, and indeed the [latest version of the code](1fac9fed64/ply) doesn't even call `open()` at all except to do logging or to read the text data to be parsed from `stdin`. So if we were going to pin our future on `ply` and upgrade to later versions of the library in the future, we would have to live in a world where `ply` doesn't generate cached table files for us anyway.
Emitting the cached table files so later build steps can consume them is an "optimization", but it's not clear exactly how much actual value that optimization provides overall. Quoth the `CHANGES` file from that repository:
```
PLY no longer writes cached table files. Honestly, the use of
the cached files made more sense when I was developing PLY on
my 200Mhz PC in 2001. It's not as much as an issue now. For small
to medium sized grammars, PLY should be almost instantaneous.
```
In practice, I have found this to be true; namely, `./mach build pre-export export` takes just about as long on my machine after this patch as it did before, and in a try push I performed, there's no noticeable performance regression from applying this patch. In local testing I also found that generating the LALR tables in calls to `yacc()` takes about 0.01s on my machine generally, and we generate these tables a couple dozen times total over the course of the `export` tier now. This isn't *nothing*, but in my opinion it's also not nearly long enough where it would be a concern given how long `export` already takes.
That `CHANGES` file also stresses that if caching this data is important, we have the option of doing so via `pickle`. If and when we decide that re-enabling this optimization is valuable for us, we should take control of this process and perform the generation in such a way that we can guarantee reproducibility.

Adds IpdlQueue capability to PWebGL actors. The WebGLChild, used in content processes, implements SyncProducerActor and AsyncConsumerActor because it sends (sync and async) messages and receives responses to them that it reads as async messages. The WebGLParent, used in the compositor process, is a SyncConsumerActor and AsyncProducerActor for dual reasons.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D68264
We need to separate WebGL actor construction and initialization since IpdlQueue initialization needs the actor to already exist.

- removes sendRpcMessage, which was unused;
- removes the CPOW argument to sendAsyncMessage, broadcastAsyncMessage, and
sendSyncMessage;
- removes the aIsSync argument used internally to distinguish sendRpcMessage
and sendSyncMessage;
- removes CPOW tests;
- updates the few remaining callsites that use more than 2 arguments in
sendAsyncMessage for the removal of the cpows argument.

Before 1496578, URIFixup::keywordToURI used to do a synchronous IPC call to be
able to access search engines from the content process. Consumers of URIFixup
didn't care. Bug 1496578 moved the IPC messaging to the callers, in particular
nsDocShell, but assumed nsDocShellLoadState wasn't loading from content.
It looks like in some cases it does, so this adds another sync IPC call for
GetFixupURIInfo.
The total numer of sync IPCs should not change from before Bug 1496578, URIFIxup
was just doing it internally, while now it happens at the call point.
Note the long term plan would be for these docshell objects callers to just
handle URIs, while the UI code should do fixup.
Bug 1375244 tracks the removal of these sync IPC messages.

For Win32k lockdown, we need to remove the content processes' ability to
call GetICMProfileW(). Since it needs this to retrieve the output color
profile, a new synchronous call is added that allows it to request the
parent process to read this file on its behalf.
The contents of the file are now being cached as well, as this should help
ease some of the increased parent process I/O caused by the children not
being able to do this in their process anymore.
For performance reasons, during launch this information is passed directly
to the child through the SetXPCOMProcessAttributes call

This wasn't useful cross-platform.
ATK was the only consumer of this and it now uses ProxyAccessible::ChildAtPoint.
This also means the related aNeedsScreenCoords functionality in PDocAccessible::AccessibleAtPoint is no longer needed and has thus been removed.
Finally, this renames PDocAccessible::AccessibleAtPoint to PDocAccessible::ChildAtPoint for consistency with Accessible::ChildAtPoint now that the functionality is mirrored.

Before this patch, PSM would register content type handlers to handle certain
certificate types. This was an easy way to install a client certificate after
generating a key with <keygen>, but keygen has been removed. This was also an
easy way to install root certificates, but that's actually a considerable
security risk. We kept this functionality for so long because it was the only
way to add a 3rd-party root certificate to Fennec's certificate store. Now that
Fennec is EOL, we can remove it. (Fenix will need a way to trust 3rd party root
certificates, but the path forward there is to implement the enterprise roots
feature for Android.)

WalkHistoryEntries function gets called by nsSHistory::CloneAndReplaceChild
and nsSHistory::SetChildHistoryEntry recursively, so those have to be moved
into the parent process. This eliminates many sync IPC calls.
To facilitate transition to a new session history design,
we are mirroring mOSHE and mLSHE SH entries from docshell to browsing context.
Whenever we update those entries in docshell, we will also update those in BC,
and vice versa.

We want to be able to send IPC messages from the translation in the parent. So
the simplest thing it move the top level actor parts of CanvasParent into
CanvasTranslator.
This patch also moves the canvas thread management parts out into a new
CanvasThreadHolder class and hopefully makes the lifecycle management of these
much more robust. This includes the use of a TaskQueue per CanvasTranslator to
manage serial processing on the canvas workers, instead of a boolean.
