Registers a webBrowserListener to receive queries for listener interfaces.
This allows an embedding app to hook itself up to handle various listeners
that nsWebBrowser supports throwing. This process allows multiple people
to register a listeners of the nsWebBrowser. Each one has the option
to handle only certain interfaces. The callback process of
nsIWebBrowserListener allows us to dynamically add new listener interfaces
without having to add additional Add/RemoveFooListener().
@param listener - The listener interface to be called when a specific
listener interface is needed.
@param cookie - This is an optional parameter to receieve a cookie to use
to unregister rather than the original interface pointer. This may
be nsnull.
@return NS_OK - Listener was registered successfully.
NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG - The listener passed in was either nsnull,
or was already registered with this listener interface.

This is the top level window embedding the browser. The object passed in
will be QI'd and used for setting positioning, chrome elements, etc of the
containing window. This interface is implemented by the embedding app.
The topLevelWindow object will be QId for nsIInterfaceRequestor, if it
is found, it will be quiried first before querying the objects in the
webBrowserListener list. Implementations of this interface should
not refcount the topLevelWindow as it is considered the owner of the browser
window. That therefore means that when the topLevelWindow goes away, it
must set topLevelWindow to nsnull.
