Correctness improvements:
* UTF errors are handled safely per spec instead of dangerously truncating
strings.
* There are fewer converter implementations.
Performance improvements:
* The old code did exact buffer length math, which meant doing UTF math twice
on each input string (once for length calculation and another time for
conversion). Exact length math is more complicated when handling errors
properly, which the old code didn't do. The new code does UTF math on the
string content only once (when converting) but risks allocating more than
once. There are heuristics in place to lower the probability of
reallocation in cases where the double math avoidance isn't enough of a
saving to absorb an allocation and memcpy.
* Previously, in UTF-16 <-> UTF-8 conversions, an ASCII prefix was optimized
but a single non-ASCII code point pessimized the rest of the string. The
new code tries to get back on the fast ASCII path.
* UTF-16 to Latin1 conversion guarantees less about handling of out-of-range
input to eliminate an operation from the inner loop on x86/x86_64.
* When assigning to a pre-existing string, the new code tries to reuse the
old buffer instead of first releasing the old buffer and then allocating a
new one.
* When reallocating from the new code, the memcpy covers only the data that
is part of the logical length of the old string instead of memcpying the
whole capacity. (For old callers old excess memcpy behavior is preserved
due to bogus callers. See bug 1472113.)
* UTF-8 strings in XPConnect that are in the Latin1 range are passed to
SpiderMonkey as Latin1.
New features:
* Conversion between UTF-8 and Latin1 is added in order to enable faster
future interop between Rust code (or otherwise UTF-8-using code) and text
node and SpiderMonkey code that uses Latin1.

We attach it to WorkerPrivate and DOMNavigationTiming so it will be re-used
when it should.
WorkerPrivate is used in the Performance APIs, Performance Storage Worker,
and Event.
DOMNavigationTiming is used only in the Performance APIs, but the crucial
part is that when the individual DOMNavigationTiming object is re-used,
so will the context seed. This in particular came up with the
nav2_test_document_open.html Web Platform Test which illustrated the fact
that even if you .open() a new document, the performance navigation data
is not supposed to change.

This is a large patch which tries to switch many of the external consumers of
nsGlobalWindow to instead use the new Inner or Outer variants.

Prevent default on pointerdown will stop firing the subsequent mouse events. Ignore the case that preventDefault by WebExtensions to avoid breaking some websites.

All the instances are converted as follows.
- nsAFlatString --> nsString

This patch is adapted from Tor bug 1517.
To offer some protection against timing attacks by JS content pages, in this
patch we round the various time-exposing APIs (such as Date and
Event.timeStamps) to the nearest 100 ms when the pref "privacy.resistFingerprinting" is on.
