This functionality already exists, so it is just a matter of threading
an extra bool around. This patch should not actually change the behavior
anywhere.
The goal of this is to consider using it for AWSY. Currently AWSY
asks every process to minimize memory usage at once, but with
this option the minimization will be batched along with the memory
reports, which should make it less likely to overwhelm the system
when there are a lot of content processes.

Currently, this code creates large and non-trivial classes that will be
difficult to remote. This change creates an intermediate stage where a simple
struct is returned from a function and then used to initialize these
more complex classes.
It is this simple struct that will be remoted across processes

We don't need these macros anymore, for two reasons:

This also factors out FinalizationRegistry support into a separate class.
The JS engine now passes a callback function and the incumbent global which are recorded in QueueCallback. FinalizationRegistryCleanup::DoCleanup creates a CallbackObject can calls it immediately (I originally tried creating it in QueueCallback but there were problems because this is called during GC).
I coped most of this from the way promise reaction jobs work. I added FinalizationRegistryCleanupCallback; I don't know if that's overkill.

The overall goal of this patch is to make the StartupCache accessible anywhere.
There's two main pieces to that equation:
1. Allowing it to be accessed off main thread, which means modifying the
mutex usage to ensure that all data accessed from non-main threads is
protected.
2. Allowing it to be accessed out of the chrome process, which means passing
a handle to a shared cache buffer down to child processes.
Number 1 is somewhat fiddly, but it's all generally straightforward work. I'll
hope that the comments and the code are sufficient to explain what's going on
there.
Number 2 has some decisions to be made:
- The first decision was to pass a handle to a frozen chunk of memory down to
all child processes, rather than passing a handle to an actual file. There's
two reasons for this: 1) since we want to compress the underlying file on
disk, giving that file to child processes would mean they have to decompress
it themselves, eating CPU time. 2) since they would have to decompress it
themselves, they would have to allocate the memory for the decompressed
buffers, meaning they cannot all simply share one big decompressed buffer.
- The drawback of this decision is that we have to load and decompress the
buffer up front, before we spawn any child processes. We attempt to
mitigate this by keeping track of all the entries that child processes
access, and only including those in the frozen decompressed shared buffer.
- We base our implementation of this approach off of the shared preferences
implementation. Hopefully I got all of the pieces to fit together
correctly. They seem to work in local testing and on try, but I think
they require a set of experienced eyes looking carefully at them.
- Another decision was whether to send the handles to the buffers over IPC or
via command line. We went with the command line approach, because the startup
cache would need to be accessed very early on in order to ensure we do not
read from any omnijars, and we could not make that work via IPC.
- Unfortunately this means adding another hard-coded FD, similar to
kPrefMapFileDescriptor. It seems like at the very least we need to rope all
of these together into one place, but I think that should be filed as a
follow-up?
Lastly, because this patch is a bit of a monster to review - first, thank you
for looking at it, and second, the reason we're invested in this is because we
saw a >10% improvement in cold startup times on reference hardware, with a p
value less than 0.01. It's still not abundantly clear how reference hardware
numbers translate to numbers on release, and they certainly don't translate
well to Nightly numbers, but it's enough to convince me that it's worth some
effort.
