Gregory Szorc 675b7da4ed Bug 1375231 - Make OptionValue.__eq__ more type aware; r=glandium
OptionValue and its derived classes are exposed to moz.configure
files. As the previous bug fix showed, it is really easy to
accidentally assume the type is a simple string value and do a
string compare against it.

To prevent this class of bugs, this commit adds additional type
awareness to OptionValue.__eq__.

We first check that the argument is a tuple (including any OptionValue
types). If not, we raise a TypeError because the comparison is
invalid. This is arguably a violation of __eq__. But since OptionValue
is exposed to the moz.configure sandbox and typing '==' will invoke
__eq__, we have to do something to prevent this foot gun.

The change also changes the comparison logic.

If we compare against a non-derived tuple instance, we do a tuple
compare. Otherwise, we fall back to the previous logic of
requiring an identical type then doing a tuple compare.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
