Masayuki Nakano d4cbc09db8 Bug 1533293 - part 1: Create Selection::SetStartAndEnd() to set new range as far as faster r=smaug
`Selection::Extend()` is too slow because:
- it may create some `nsRange` instances.
- it users `nsContentUtils::ComparePoints()` multiple times.

Therefore, we can improve the performance if we can stop using it in some
places.  First, this patch creates `Selection::SetStartAndEnd()` and
`Selection::SetStartAndEndInLimiter()` for internal use.  They remove
current ranges, reuse `nsRange` instance as far as possible and add new
range which is set by their arguments.  Then, this patch makes
`Selection::SelectAllChildren()` stop using `Selection::Extend()`.  At this
time, this fixes a web-compat issue.  `Selection::Expand()` cannot cross the
selection limiter boundary when there is a limiter (e.g., when an editing host
has focus).  But we can now fix this with using the new internal API.

Note that methods in editor shouldn't move selection to outside of active
editing host.  Therefore, this patch adds `Selection::SetStartAndEndInLimiter()`
and `Selection::SetBaseAndExtentInLimiter()` for them.
