Kartikaya Gupta cf091ea0eb Bug 1328066 - Don't broadcast the live-resize events to all browser windows unnecessarily. r=mstange
The machinery for suppressing the displayport during live resizes
was using the Observer service. However, in the case of multiple
browser windows, this meant that all the open browser windows would
have their displayport suppressed if *any* of the browser windows
was being resized. This was mostly ok, as the displayport suppression
would be turned off once the resize ended. However, the code to
kick off a repaint with the unsuppressed displayport would only get
triggered on one of the windows (whichever happened to process the
unsuppress message last).

This patch stops using the Observer service for the implementation
machinery, and instead locates the active TabParent of the relevant
nsWindow, and invokes the displayport suppression directly on that.
This fixes the repainting bug and also avoids unnecessarily
broadcasting the suppression/unsuppression notification to windows
that don't neccessarily need it.
