Jed Davis 3e70bf3ff1 Bug 1487287 - Move child process launch off the I/O thread. r=mccr8
Launching processes takes enough time that we should avoid blocking the
parent process's IPC I/O thread for it; it's less bad for responsiveness
than blocking the main thread, but it's not good.

On Windows we need to use a dedicated thread, because the sandbox isn't
thread-safe and it asserts that the same thread is used for every
launch.  Otherwise, a thread pool is used.  (Or, in the Web Replay
middleman process, where there isn't enough of XPCOM for any of this,
launching the actual content processes remains on the I/O thread.)

Depends on D15886
