Nika Layzell a7de25bcb9 Bug 1751948 - Part 2: Add support for generated UNIFIED_SOURCES files, r=glandium
This patch adds support for generated files to be placed in
UNIFIED_SOURCES.  This will be used in part 3 to build .cpp files
generated by IPDL_SOURCES by adding them to IPDL's UNIFIED_SOURCES under
the hood. Using a unified build for IPDL files is important, as a
significant build time regression was observed locally when using
non-unified sources to build ipdl sources, due to the large number of
generated files.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
