We remove --disable-libjpeg-turbo because that's only useful when Yasm
is too old, and the required version is now almost 8 years old, so we
can reasonably require people to upgrade rather than workaround with a
--disable option.
The valid_yasm_version function can seem overkill, but that's because
future moves of other things to python configure will pile up.

Because we now set the sysroot include flags early in python configure,
we don't need to set CPP/CXXCPP. We also skip the explicit compiler test
because more complete tests follow anyways.

Last attempt, a few years ago, blatantly failed because nautilus (the
GNOME file manager) can't start PIE executables, which look like shared
libraries, and that it thus considers not being executables.
Downstreams don't actually have the problem, because users won't be
launching Firefox from a file manager, but for mozilla.org builds, it is
a problem because users would download, then extract, and then likely
try to run the Firefox executable from a file manager.
So for mozilla.org builds, we still need to find a way around the
nautilus problem.
A .desktop file could be a solution, but .desktop files have not
actually been designed for this use case, which leads to:
- having to use an awful one-liner shell wrapper to derive the path
to the executable from that of the .desktop file,
- not even being able to associate an icon,
- the .desktop file not being copiable to a location where .desktop
files would normally go, because it would then fail to find the
executable.
Another possibility is to go back to using a shell wrapper, but that's
not entirely appealing.
What we chose here is similar, where we have a small `firefox` wrapper
that launches the real `firefox-bin` (which is still leftover from those
old times where we had a shell wrapper, for reasons).
The small `firefox` wrapper is a minimalist C executable that just
finds the path to the `firefox-bin` executable and executes it with the
same args it was called with. The wrapper is only enabled when the
MOZ_NO_PIE_COMPAT environment variable is set, which we only take into
account on Linux. The variable is only really meant to be used for
mozilla.org builds, for the nautilus problem. Downstreams will just pick
the default, which is changed to build PIE.
On other platforms, PIE was already enabled by default, so we just
remove the --enable-pie configure flag.

This option does nothing if it's provided, and things will probably
break in some most peculiar manner if somebody uses --without-pthreads.
Given that neither outcome is useful, we should remove the option.

At the same time, we make it actually do something on spidermonkey
builds. We also add an environment variable alternative, that we use
in mozconfig.stdcxx, allowing for mozconfig.no-compile to override it
and avoid configure failures on e.g. artifact builds.

We need MOZ_UI_LOCALE even when building the JS shell so
config/config.mk variable assignments don't run into issues. But it
doesn't make any sense to configure a UI locale for the JS shell. So
make --enable-ui-locale a normal `option`, but give it a `default`,
which is the value shell-only builds will always see.

--enable-ion was only used by --enable-simulator and related options, so
there wasn't much point in making two separate commits.
This translation is a little more verbose than the original
old-configure code, but I think it is more readable and easier to
follow. We also don't port over --enable-simulator=no, as there doesn't
seem to be much point in doing so.
While we're here, provide a reference to unique_list as defined in
moz.configure when executing config.data to avoid its redefinition
in m4.

The Rust optimization logic is tied to --enable-optimize/MOZ_OPTIMIZE
and --enable-debug/MOZ_DEBUG. In order to more easily implement more
customization, let's move --enable-optimize/MOZ_OPTIMIZE to
moz.configure so its value can be consulted there.
The logic here is a bit wonky. The option behaves like a boolean
or a string. If a string, MOZ_OPTIMIZE is set to 2. Otherwise it
is 1 or unset depending on the boolean value.
The custom compiler flags string is passed to old-configure, where it
overwrites whatever old-configure derived as the default value.
We stop short of moving all references to MOZ_OPTIMIZE_FLAGS to
moz.configure because there are a handful of them and I don't want
to scope bloat.

We mix the added and modified variables from mozconfig and sort them.
We also print comments indicating where values come from.
