Some features such as the GPU process (except on Android), backdrop
filter (because it always works with Software WebRender), ANGLE (because
it is generally good) and out of process WebGL (we generally want to
remote WebGL for sandboxing purposes) are special, and should not be
disabled simply because we are uncertain about our configuration. In
these situations, disable most features, but keep these enabled by
default.

Gfx blocklist doesn't actually use the desktop environment filter so
remove that functionality. We can reintroduce it in the future if we
need it.

Ensure that when we evaluate the downloadable blocklist, we actually
only use the downloadable blocklist. We should not include any platform
specific checks in these prefs, as it causes confusion about why the
prefs were set in the first place. Allowlisted features should be
ignored when evaluating the downloadable blocklist; if we wish to
override the ALLOW/ALLOW_QUALIFIED/DENIED statuses, we should use OK or
BLOCKED_DEVICE or similar instead.
This caused allowlisted features (like WebRender) to be taken away from
users in the most recent nightly.

This removes a bunch of custom code from GfxInfo to obtain screen
information, and instead collects that screen information in
ScreenManager.
This, apart of removing duplicated code, has the extra benefit of
reporting multi-monitor information on GTK (and potentially in the
future reporting scale and refresh rate properly as well, I've kept the
telemetry as it was on that regard).

Bug 1742985 added the test helper_zoom_after_gpu_process_restart.html,
but it doesn't actually get run on any platform with the GPU process
enabled. (Due to bug 1495580 on windows, and because the GPU process
isn't yet enabled on android.)
The test kills the GPU process, then tries to wait for it to be
restarted before proceeding. However, the function
ensureGPUProcessReadyForTests doesn't always work as intended, as the
GPUProcessManager may not have yet noticed that the process has been
killed, and therefore may return immediately from EnsureGPUReady.
This patch removes the buggy ensureGPUProcessReadyForTests function,
and instead makes the test wait for the "compositor-reinitialized"
topic to be observed.

Add KillGPUProcessForTests, which kills the GPU process without
generating a crash dump (unlike the existing CrashGPUProcessForTests).
Additionally add EnsureGPUProcessReadyForTests, which returns a
promise that resolves to true when the GPU process is enabled and
ready, and false if it is disabled. If called while the GPU process is
being (re)started, it will not resolve until it has finished launching
(or was disabled due to error).
Finally, make GPUProcessHost::IsConnected check whether the process
handle is valid. This ensures it returns false immediately following a
call to KillProcess but prior to the GPUChild being destroyed. This
means tests can call EnsureGPUProcessReadyForTests immediately after
KillGPUProcessForTests or CrashGPUProcessForTests, and it will
reliably wait for the new process to launch, as intended.

Add a function to GPUProcessManager to force the GPU process to crash,
and expose it through gfxInfo. Expose this to geckoview tests via the
test-support webextension.
Add a junit test GpuCrashTest, which triggers a GPU process crash and
ensures the crash reporter was notified.
Additionally, ensure the TestCrashHandler service is stopped in
between tests, as otherwise only the first crash test to run will be
notified of the crash.

Currently, reftest-content uses GfxInfo::GetInfo() to obtain information about
the Azure backend. GetInfo() uses Win32k APIs, and therefore will mostly
return garbage in content processes.
This adds a new way to obtain the same information directly from GfxInfo
without using Win32k APIs.

GfxInfo::RefreshMonitors() could not be called in ScreenHelperWin::RefreshScreens(), since the RefreshScreens() is called within nsAppShell::Init(). Then GfxInfo::RefreshMonitors() is called during WM_DISPLAYCHANGE event handling.

Out-of-process WebGL needs GfxInfo to exist in the composition
process (which is the GPU process if it exists and the parent process
otherwise). This patch enables the Linux version of that component in
the GPU process; the IPC currently used to give content processes copies
of the parent's GPU info is extended to also send it to the GPU process.
