A lot of existing code has variations on:
if (ManagedPFooChild().Length()) {
...(ManagedPFooChild()[0])...
}
// Do something with nullptr, or some other action.
It's pretty reasonable to repeat this code when the managed protocols
are stored in an array; the code gets much less nice when managed
protocols are stored in a hashtable. Let's write a small utility
function to handle those details for us. Then when we change the
underlying storage, we only need to update this function, rather than a
bunch of callsites.
ProtocolUtils.h is included by all the generated IPDL headers, so
LoneManagedOrNull should be available everywhere the above pattern would
be encountered.

This patch has a few side effects:
1. Plugins in the chrome process are "mirrored" to all content processes,
although this mirroring is currently imperfect (bug 1090576)
2. Plugins are no longer sorted by modification date in nsPluginHost.
3. Plugin exceptions are no longer propagated to JS code. They are ignored.
