Dispatching events via |nsIThread| doesn't work with worker threads. This
patch replaces all uses of |nsIThread| in the socket code by equivalent
uses of |MessageLoop|.
Different users of the socket I/O code have different requirements
for their I/O buffers. This patch moves the buffer management into
sub-classes of |UnixSocketBuffer|. Each of them can maintain memory
according to its needs.
The socket IPC interfaces still use 'main thread' in a number of
places. This patch changes all such interfaces and documentation
to speak of 'consumer thread' instead.
The consumer thread handles socket creation, destruction, and
data processing for socket IPC. Traditionally this has been
done on the main thread.
This patch extends the socket IPC classes to support arbitrary
consumer threads. The thread is configured when establishing a
connection, and performs all of the above operations until the
socket is closed.
This patch removes the template parameters from
|SocketIODeleteInstanceRunnable| and moves its methods into the
C++ source file. All users have been adapted.

|SocketIORequestClosingRunnable| and moves its methods into
the C++ source file. All users have been adapted.
This patch renames |SocketConsumerBase| to |DataSocket|, and for the
I/O classes |SocketConsumerIO| to |DataSocketIO|. |DataSocketIO| also
contains send and receive functionality from |SocketBaseIO|.
|DataSocket| is a virtual base class that represents a socket that
transfers data, without a particular constraints to what the data
represents. |DataSocketIO| is the corresponding helper class on the
I/O thread.
This patch moves memory management of |UnixSocketIOBuffer| into
|UnixSocketBuffer| and extends |UnixSocketIOBuffer| with send and
receive interfaces. The class is now the base for all socket-buffer
classes, such as |UnixSocketRawData| and |BluetoothDaemonPDU|.
The destructor methods of ref-counted classes are supposed to
be non-public to prevent accidential deletion. This patch fixes
|SocketBase|'s destructor.
The class |UnixSocketIOBuffer| maintains memory buffers for socket I/O
operations. The actual I/O is still implemented by subclasses, such as
|UnixSocketRawData|.
This patch moves the I/O operations for sending and receiving data
in |SocketIOBase| into |UnixSocketRawData|. This change allows to
add a clean interface to |UnixSocketRawData| and later replace the
class by other implementations.
|SocketIOBase| is a base class for Socket I/O classes. It's not a
requirement, but provides a number of helpful methods for common
I/O operations on the I/O thread.
|SocketConsumerBase| handles connection state for |UnixSocketConsumer|
and its derived classes. Implementing classes must override a number of
virtual methods, to handle notifications about changes to the state of
the connection.
