Nika Layzell a7666fd8fe Bug 1418048 - Add a callback-based Send API to async returning IPDL methods, r=billm
Currently if you write an async IPDL method which has a return value, we expose
a SendXXX method which returns a MozPromise. This MozPromise can then be
->Then-ed to run code when it is resolved or rejected.

Unfortunately, using this API loses ordering guarantees which IPDL provides.
MozPromise::Then takes an event target, which the resolve runnable is dispatched
to. This means that the resolve callback's code doesn't have any ordering
guarantees relative to the processing of other IPC messages coming over the same
protocol.

This adds a new overload to SendXXX with two additional arguments, a lambda
callback which is called if the call succeeds, and a lambda callback which is
called if the call fails. These will be called in order with other IPC messages
sent over the same protocol.
