Emilio Cobos Álvarez b1d66c8b2e Bug 1611933 - Support infallible xpcom methods, and use it for nsIURI.schemeIs. r=nika,xpcom-reviewers
I've wanted to use this recently for a couple things. This uses the
same scheme and even templates we use for attributes, so it's mostly
moving code around...

Inverting the code generation so that the implementation is infallible,
and we actually generate the NS_IMETHOD goop inline somehow could be
potentially desirable, though that causes an extra virtual call for
non-C++ callers I guess, so maybe it's not such a great trade-off. Plus
it seems more complicated...

Explicitly forbid mixing infallible with notxpcom (as it doesn't make
sense), and similarly forbid infallible + returning void (as C++ doesn't
allow us to overload a function that differs only on its return type).

/**
* URIs are essentially structured names for things -- anything. This interface
* provides accessors to get the most basic components of an URI.
* If you need to change some parts of the URI use nsIURIMutator.
* Subclasses, including nsIURL, impose greater structure on the URI.
*
* This interface follows Tim Berners-Lee's URI spec (RFC3986) [1], where the
* basic URI components are defined as such:
* <pre>
* ftp://username:password@hostname:portnumber/pathname?query#ref
* \ / \ / \ / \ /\ / \ / \ /
* - --------------- ------ -------- ------- --- -
* | | | | | | |
* | | | | FilePath Query Ref
* | | | Port \ /
* | | Host / ------------
* | UserPass / |
* Scheme / Path
* \ /
* --------------------------------
* |
* PrePath
* </pre>
* The definition of the URI components has been extended to allow for
* internationalized domain names [2] and the more generic IRI structure [3].
