Boris Zbarsky 3293a4cd98 Bug 1330759 part 3. Add a "stringbuffer we own" mode to DOMString. r=froydnj
We're going to need it because we're going to add a consumer that cannot in fact
promise that its stringbuffer reference will outlive the DOMString.

/**
* A class for representing string return values. This can be either passed to
* callees that have an nsString or nsAString out param or passed to a callee
* that actually knows about this class and can work with it. Such a callee may
* call SetStringBuffer or SetEphemeralStringBuffer or SetOwnedString or
* SetOwnedAtom on this object. It's only OK to call
* SetStringBuffer/SetOwnedString/SetOwnedAtom if the caller of the method in
* question plans to keep holding a strong ref to the stringbuffer involved,
* whether it's a raw nsStringBuffer, or stored inside the string or atom being
* passed. In the string/atom cases that means the caller must own the string
* or atom, and not mutate it (in the string case) for the lifetime of the
* DOMString.
*
* The proper way to store a value in this class is to either to do nothing
* (which leaves this as an empty string), to call
* SetStringBuffer/SetEphemeralStringBuffer with a non-null stringbuffer, to
* call SetOwnedString, to call SetOwnedAtom, to call SetNull(), or to call
* AsAString() and set the value in the resulting nsString. These options are
* mutually exclusive! Don't do more than one of them.
*
* The proper way to extract a value is to check IsNull(). If not null, then
* check HasStringBuffer(). If that's true, check for a zero length, and if the
* length is nonzero call StringBuffer(). If the length is zero this is the
* empty string. If HasStringBuffer() returns false, call AsAString() and get
* the value from that.
