Right now, NS_GENERIC_FACTORY_SINGLETON_CONSTRUCTOR expects singleton
constructors to return already-addrefed raw pointers, and while it accepts
constructors that return already_AddRefed, most existing don't do so.
Meanwhile, the convention elsewhere is that a raw pointer return value is
owned by the callee, and that the caller needs to addref it if it wants to
keep its own reference to it.
The difference in convention makes it easy to leak (I've definitely caused
more than one shutdown leak this way), so it would be better if we required
the singleton getters to return an explicit already_AddRefed, which would
behave the same for all callers.
This also cleans up several singleton constructors that left a dangling
pointer to their singletons when their initialization methods failed, when
they released their references without clearing their global raw pointers.

All the instances are converted as follows.
- nsSubstring --> nsAString
- nsCSubstring --> nsACString

Slightly less than half (93 / 210) of the NS_METHOD instances in the codebase
are because of the use of NS_CALLBACK in
nsI{Input,Output,UnicharInput},Stream.idl. The use of __stdcall on Win32 isn't
important for these callbacks because they are only used as arguments to
[noscript] methods.
This patch converts them to vanilla |nsresult| functions. It increases the size
of xul.dll by about ~600 bytes, which is about 0.001%.

The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.
