Bug 1543313 part 1: Allow identification and retrieval of DocAccessibleParents at the top level of their content process. r=eeejay

DocAccessibleParent already has IsTopLevel(), which identifies a document at the top level of the hierarchy; i.e. it has no parents.
Now that we have out-of-process iframes, we need to be able to identify and retrieve documents at the top level of their content process, even if they are embedded by another remote document.
DocAccessibleParent::IsTopLevelInContentProcess() has been introduced to achieve this.
BrowserParent::GetTopLevelDocAccessible() now uses this instead of IsTopLevel(), since we want to be able to get the top DocAccessibleParent even for a BrowserParent for an out-of-process iframe.
