The implementation is based on a cache (datastore) living in the parent process and sync IPC calls initiated from content processes.
IPC communication is done using per principal/origin database actors which connect to the datastore.
The synchronous blocking of the main thread is done by creating a nested event target and spinning the event loop.
When shutting down a content process, we call `Close` on the
`IToplevelProtocol`. This causes the MessageChannel to be `Close`-ed,
which in turn sends a `GOODBYE_MESSAGE`:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/876022232b15425bb9efde189caf747823b39567/ipc/glue/MessageChannel.cpp#2852
This message is intercepted on the I/O thread in the content process,
before any code is informed in content, and used to set the
`mChannelState` property to `ChannelClosing`:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/876022232b15425bb9efde189caf747823b39567/ipc/glue/MessageChannel.cpp#1176
Once this state has been set, which is performed as soon as the
message is received, whether or not other messages have been processed
yet, no messages can be sent back to the parent process. This is
usually what causes the 'Too late to send/recv' message spam in the
console, as we're still trying to send messages at this time.
Usually this is fine - the message send fails, but we gracefully
recover, and the process begins shutting down like normal.
Unfortunately, child actor constructors currently have code
automatically generated in them which causes a process crash if the
send fails. As it's impossible for the main thread to know that the
channel has been closed ahead of time (due to this happening
out-of-band), we can then cause random content process crashes
during shutdown due to actor construction.
Unfortunately, we can't just destroy the actor, as our caller may
(and often do) depend on the actor reference they gave us still being valid
after calling Send*Constructor. Fortunately, if a message send failed, it means
we're in the process of being shut down.
This patch handles this by ignoring ctor send errors, and treating them like
messages which successfully were queued to send, but got lost due to the other
side hanging up. The actor will be gracefully destroyed in DestroySubtree when
its manager is destroyed.

Previously there were many different inconsistent implementations of this
variable across many different actors. This adds a unified implementation of
this variable inside of IProtocol.

Content process of Android uses sync IPC when initializing LookAndFeel. But
current e10s has LookAndFeel cache for start up of content process.
So we should use it, then remove sync IPC for start up performance

This patch adds the ability to use UniquePtr<T> in IPDL messages if T is serializable. The behavior works as expected -- a UniquePtr in a Send is cleared and is passed by move.
Some design points:
* The UniquePtr identification is done in the parser. This is because the parser immediately normalizes CxxTemplateInst -- an old version of the patch did hacky string-parsing to pull it apart. I, instead, created CxxUniquePtrInst.
* The implementation allows passing to Send... by move or by reference. This is valid UniquePtr API behavior but passing by reference is not really useful in this case (but not harmful). This could probably piggy-back on the "moveonly" IPDL work but that is newer than this work and will require some refactoring.

I'd like to use a struct over IPDL which is move only. This patch adds a modifier to

This patch allows IPDL tests to compile -- in other words, it fixes the build when the --enable-ipdl-tests flag is present. Most of the fixes are simple API updates but we also needed to fix an issue with the constness of nsTArray<Shmem> parameters that are defined in IPDL structs.
This patch does not fix the tests themselves -- some IPDL tests will still fail when run.

The framework to simulate the setting change works as following;
- nsIDOMWindowUtils.setPrefersReducedMotion() calls an IPC function which ends
up calling nsChildView::SetPrefersReducedMotion() in the parent process
- nsChildView::SetPrefersReducedMotion() sets the given value into
nsLookAndFeel::mPrefersReducedMotionCached just like we set the value queried
via NSWorkspace.accessibilityDisplayShouldReduceMotion in the parent process
and send a notification which is the same notification MacOSX sends when the
system setting changed
- Normally the cached value is cleared before quering new values since the
cache value is stale, but in this case the value is up-to-date one, so
nsChildView::SetPrefersReducedMotion() tells that we don't need to clear the
cache, and nsIDOMWindowUtils.resetPrefersReducedMotion() resets that state
of 'we don't need to clear the cache'
There are two test cases with the framework in this commit, one is just setting
the value and checking the value queried by window.matchMedia. The other one is
receiving 'change' event and checking the value of the event target.
Note that to make this test works the patch for bug 1478212 is necessary since
the test runs in an iframe.

The test case in this patch fails without the proper fix in the first patch
in this patch series.
In this patch two new nsIDOMWindowUtils APIs are introduced to change the
system font settins in tests. Currently the APIs work only on GTK+ platform.
Also to work the test case properly we need to open a new XUL window because we
don't propagate font changes into descendant documents yet (bug 1478212).

On the compositor we store animation values in a hash table and the hash is
the compositor animation id which is a unique id for each property respectively.
So we can get the corresponding animation value for the given property.
In this patch there are lots of duplicated code, but they will be removed in the
next patch.

Currently, in order to retrieve supported clipboard formats
DataTransfer::CacheExternalClipboardFormats repeatedly makes the same calls to
clipboard->HasDataMatchingFlavors.
In the case when aPlainTextOnly == true only 1 call is made -
clipboard->HasDataMatchingFlavors(kUnicodeMime, ...), and when
aPlainTextOnly == false we have 1 call made for every member of the list
{ kCustomTypesMime, kFileMime, kHTMLMime, kRTFMime, kURLMime, kURLDataMime,
kUnicodeMime, kPNGImageMime } - a total of 8 calls.
We can see that in nsClipboardProxy::HasDataMatchingFlavors, there is a call to
ContentChild::GetSingleton()->SendClipboardHasType.
So when aPlainTextOnly == true, we will have 1 sync message, and when
aPlainTextOnly == false, we will have 8 sync messages.
With the proposed solution, in DataTransfer::CacheExternalClipboardFormats
we will only have 1 sync message regardless of the case because
GetExternalClipboardFormats() will retrieve all supported clipboard
formats at once.

This defines three flushing functions that flush different parts of the
WR pipeline. Using all three guarantees that everything sent to WR will
have been flushed. This is what we need to do in SyncWithCompositor to
ensure that it meets the API contract.
In addition, this patch updates the existing FlushRendering function to
use the new functions (no functional changes intended here).
