Ray Kraesig f6411a2366 Bug 1895375 - [1/4] Adjust types associated with ipc::LaunchError r=ipc-reviewers,win-reviewers,gstoll,nika
As the intended use for LaunchError::mFunction is telemetry, avoid the
possibility of accidental exfiltration of PII by requiring that
LaunchError be constructed from `StaticString`.

Additionally, remove the Windows-specific constructor overloads in favor
of an explicit factory function, and explicitly document that `mError`
is a generic bag of bits rather than any kind of strict error type.

No functional changes.
