The framework to simulate the setting change works as following;
- nsIDOMWindowUtils.setPrefersReducedMotion() calls an IPC function which ends
up calling nsChildView::SetPrefersReducedMotion() in the parent process
- nsChildView::SetPrefersReducedMotion() sets the given value into
nsLookAndFeel::mPrefersReducedMotionCached just like we set the value queried
via NSWorkspace.accessibilityDisplayShouldReduceMotion in the parent process
and send a notification which is the same notification MacOSX sends when the
system setting changed
- Normally the cached value is cleared before quering new values since the
cache value is stale, but in this case the value is up-to-date one, so
nsChildView::SetPrefersReducedMotion() tells that we don't need to clear the
cache, and nsIDOMWindowUtils.resetPrefersReducedMotion() resets that state
of 'we don't need to clear the cache'
There are two test cases with the framework in this commit, one is just setting
the value and checking the value queried by window.matchMedia. The other one is
receiving 'change' event and checking the value of the event target.
Note that to make this test works the patch for bug 1478212 is necessary since
the test runs in an iframe.
