Bug 1134923 removed the use of those functions in gecko, and left some
for the XPCOM standalone glue. The XPCOM standalone glue was severely
stripped down in bug 1306327, with the effect of removing the
implementation for those functions.
The remains in nsXPCOM.h are:
XPCOM_API(void*) NS_Alloc(size_t aSize);
XPCOM_API(void*) NS_Realloc(void* aPtr, size_t aSize);
XPCOM_API(void) NS_Free(void* aPtr);
With no implementation left, the first arm is never actually used, and
the second arm means every remaining use of those functions in the tree
is a macro expansion to one of moz_xmalloc, moz_xrealloc or free.

It's a very general mechanism for replacing the implementation of
printf_stderr().
It's primarily used by the profiler, sparingly, and not in an important way.
Worse, it prevents us from using MOZ_LOG in the profiler, which is something I
want. Because if any code that locks gPSMutex also calls MOZ_LOG, that then
calls printf_stderr(), which calls profiler_log(), which locks gPSMutex, which
deadlocks.
The only other use of set_stderr_callback() is for the ultra-hacky,
for-local-use-only copy_stderr_to_file() function, which was added for B2G
debugging and is no longer necessary.
This patch removes set_stderr_callback() altogether.
