Jean-Yves Avenard 1e2af615c7 Bug 1644009 - P9. Add nsIDirectTaskDispatcher interface. r=froydnj
We extract the dealing of direct tasks from the TailDispatcher object and move into to the existing nsThread and TaskQueue classes.
TaskQueue is made to work with do_QueryInterface.

We continue accessing the direct tasks dispatcher via the TailDispatcher for now, which itself will forward the dealing of such tasks to the underlying thread.
