Correctness improvements:
* UTF errors are handled safely per spec instead of dangerously truncating
strings.
* There are fewer converter implementations.
Performance improvements:
* The old code did exact buffer length math, which meant doing UTF math twice
on each input string (once for length calculation and another time for
conversion). Exact length math is more complicated when handling errors
properly, which the old code didn't do. The new code does UTF math on the
string content only once (when converting) but risks allocating more than
once. There are heuristics in place to lower the probability of
reallocation in cases where the double math avoidance isn't enough of a
saving to absorb an allocation and memcpy.
* Previously, in UTF-16 <-> UTF-8 conversions, an ASCII prefix was optimized
but a single non-ASCII code point pessimized the rest of the string. The
new code tries to get back on the fast ASCII path.
* UTF-16 to Latin1 conversion guarantees less about handling of out-of-range
input to eliminate an operation from the inner loop on x86/x86_64.
* When assigning to a pre-existing string, the new code tries to reuse the
old buffer instead of first releasing the old buffer and then allocating a
new one.
* When reallocating from the new code, the memcpy covers only the data that
is part of the logical length of the old string instead of memcpying the
whole capacity. (For old callers old excess memcpy behavior is preserved
due to bogus callers. See bug 1472113.)
* UTF-8 strings in XPConnect that are in the Latin1 range are passed to
SpiderMonkey as Latin1.
New features:
* Conversion between UTF-8 and Latin1 is added in order to enable faster
future interop between Rust code (or otherwise UTF-8-using code) and text
node and SpiderMonkey code that uses Latin1.

Code search indicates that this is not used internally, and the only
addon uses this is Breadcrumbs, which hasn't been updated since 2009,
thus it is already not compatible with current Firefox.

This commit does the following.
- Converts the test to a gtest, including renaming the directory.
- Factors out the duplicated checking code into a separate Check() function.
- Avoids printing any output unless a failure occurs. (The gtest harness prints
out minimal output, like the name of the current test.)
- Removes SampleWordBreakUsage(), which prints some output but doesn't actually
test anything, and so isn't useful.

This removes the unnecessary setting of c-basic-offset from all
python-mode files.
This was automatically generated using
perl -pi -e 's/; *c-basic-offset: *[0-9]+//'
... on the affected files.
The bulk of these files are moz.build files but there a few others as
well.

The patch removes 455 occurrences of FAIL_ON_WARNINGS from moz.build files, and
adds 78 instances of ALLOW_COMPILER_WARNINGS. About half of those 78 are in
code we control and which should be removable with a little effort.

There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree.
The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to
Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent
linkage, some standalone.
Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the
right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue
in most cases.
Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS
or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now
just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
