WebIDL build system integration has been rewritten from the ground up.
Changes:
* GlobalGen.py, BindingGen.py, and ExampleGen.py have been removed in
favor of mozwebidl.py.
* Static .webidl files are now processed directly in their original location
and aren't copied to the object directory.
* Generated events <stem>.cpp files are now compiled into the unified
sources. Previously, only the <stem>Binding.cpp files were compiled
into unified sources.
* Exported .h files are now generated directly into their final location.
Previously, they were generated into the local directory then
installed in their final location.
* The list of globalgen-generated files now lives in Python and isn't
duplicated in 3 places.
* The make dependencies are much simpler as a result of using a single
command to perform all code generation. The auto-generated .pp file from
code generation sets up all dependencies necessary to reinvoke code
generation and Python takes care of dependency management.
