Nathan Froyd bd0f2fccab Bug 1393592 - manually de-virtualize nsIWeakReference::QueryReferent; r=ehsan
The virtual call to this method shows up in profiles, and therefore
would be nice to avoid if possible.  We can do that by making
nsIWeakReference hold the weak reference itself and therefore
implementing a non-virtual QueryReferent method.
