Nika Layzell dbec7d4975 Bug 1526382 - Part 2: Make nsIClassInfo use Array<nsIIDRef> for 'interfaces', r=mccr8
This is a follow-up to the previous part, which actually changes one of
these callers to use Array<nsIIDRef> instead of [array] nsIIDPtr.

From doing this patch, it seems like we should consider changing
the type `nsIIDRef` to instead simply be `nsIID`, and treat it more like
the `AString` types from the POV of XPIDL. `nsIIDPtr` would then
continue to exist for backwards compatibility, but we can probably
remove almost all current consumers over time.

Depends on D19175
