Masayuki Nakano 9405d61cb8 Bug 1546577 - Make overloads of CanCut(), CanCopy(), CanDelete() and CanPaste() which return bool instead of nsresult r=m_kato
`CanCut()`, `CanCopy()` and `CanPaste()` return error only when the editor has
already been destroyed or not been initialized yet, or when failed to access
clipboard when the document is not HTML/XHTML.

`CanDelete()` returns error only when the editor has already been destroyed or
not been initialized yet.

So, these error result won't be exposed to the web in most cases and such
exception shouldn't stop any content script because Chrome basically does not
throw exception in such situation as far as I know.

Therefore, there should be overloads of them to return `bool` result directly
for making their callers simpler.
