There are several ways that expanded principals can be used as triggering
principals for requests. While that works fine for security checks, it also
sometimes causes them to be inherited, and used as result principals in
contexts where expanded principals aren't allowed.
This patch changes our inheritance behavior so that expanded principals are
downgraded to the most appropriate constituent principal when they would
otherwise be inherited.
The logic for choosing the most appropriate principal is a bit suspect, and
may eventually need to be changed to always select the last whitelist
principal, but I chose it to preserve the current principal downgrade behavior
used by XMLHttpRequest for the time being.

Bug 1400459 devirtualized nsIAtom so that it is no longer a subclass of
nsISupports. This means that nsAtom is now a better name for it than nsIAtom.

The extension policy services uses atoms internally for permission names, so
using them directly rather than strings is considerably cheaper.
