The renaming here is like this:
SetStringBuffer -> SetKnownLiveStringBuffer
SetEphemeralStringBuffer -> SetStringBuffer
SetOwnedString -> SetKnownLiveString
SetOwnedAtom -> SetKnownLiveAtom
This should make it clearer what the lifetime expectations are on the caller side.

This removes an unnecessary level of indirection by replacing all
nsStringGlue.h instances with just nsString.h.

Currently nsAtom::mString points to the interior of an nsStringBuffer. For
static atoms this requires the use of nsFakeStringBuffer, which is pretty
gross.
This patch changes things so that nsAtom::mString points to a static char
buffer for static atoms. This simplifies a number of things:
- nsFakeStringBuffer and CheckStaticAtomSizes are no longer needed.
- FakeBufferRefCountHelper is no longer needed.
- nsAtom's constructor for static atoms is simpler.
- RegisterStaticAtoms() is simpler.
On the flip-side, a couple of things get more complicated.
- nsAtom::ToString() treats static and dynamic atoms differently.
- nsAtom::GetStringBuffer() is now only valid for dynamic atoms. This
function is only used in two places, both involving DOMString, so those
locations are updated appropriately. This also requires updating some other
code assigning nsStrings to DOMStrings, because we can't assume that
nsStrings are shared.
On Linux64 this change reduces the size of the binary by 8752 B, and moves
81968 B from the .data to the .rodata section, where it can be shared between
processes.

Bug 1400459 devirtualized nsIAtom so that it is no longer a subclass of
nsISupports. This means that nsAtom is now a better name for it than nsIAtom.
