This is a complete rewrite of RemoteLazyInputStream to run off of its own
toplevel protocol, rather than being managed by other protocols like
PBackground or PContent. This should improve performance thanks to no longer
needing to operate on a main or worker thread, and due to no longer needing the
migration step for the stream actor.
This also acts as a step towards no longer requiring a manager actor to
serialize input streams, as the type is now actor-agnostic, and should support
being sent over IPC between any pair of processes.

This interface should no longer be required due to the changes in part 1
limiting the complexity of IPCStream instances and limiting the number of file
descriptors which a single stream can attach to a message.
Removing this interface is necessary to serialize nsIInputStream instances over
arbitrary toplevel protocols and non-protocol IPC in the future.

This gives us various positive benefits, such as using a shared memory ring
buffer for faster communication, not having data streaming being bound to the
thread which transferred the nsIInputStream (which is often the main thread),
and the ability for some backpressure to be applied to data streaming.
After this change, the "delayed start" parameter for IPCStream serialization is
less relevant, as backpressure will serve a similar purpose. It will still be
used to determine whether or not to use RemoteLazyInputStream when serializing
from the parent process.

This is a mechanical change which was performed by a script based on the
contents of direct_call.py, and then manually checked over to fix
various rewriting bugs caused by my glorified sed script. See the
previous part for more context on the change.

This moves parts of IPCMessageUtils.h to two new header files and adapts
the include directives as necessary. The new header files are:
- EnumSerializer.h, which defines the templates for enum serializers
- IPCMessageUtilsSpecializations.h, which defines template specializations
of ParamTraits with extra dependencies (building upon both IPCMessageUtils.h
and EnumSerializer.h)
This should minimize the dependencies pulled in by every consumer of
IPCMessageUtils.h

Allow-list all Python code in tree for use with the black linter, and re-format all code in-tree accordingly.
To produce this patch I did all of the following:
1. Make changes to tools/lint/black.yml to remove include: stanza and update list of source extensions.
2. Run ./mach lint --linter black --fix
3. Make some ad-hoc manual updates to python/mozbuild/mozbuild/test/configure/test_configure.py -- it has some hard-coded line numbers that the reformat breaks.
4. Make some ad-hoc manual updates to `testing/marionette/client/setup.py`, `testing/marionette/harness/setup.py`, and `testing/firefox-ui/harness/setup.py`, which have hard-coded regexes that break after the reformat.
5. Add a set of exclusions to black.yml. These will be deleted in a follow-up bug (1672023).

Before P1, GetCurrentThreadSerialEventTarget would have always returned the same data as NS_GetCurrentThread, making the comment incorrect Now it will properly return the running TaskQueue if any.
This change of name more clearly exposes what they are doing, as we aren't always dealing with threads directly; but a nsISerialEventTarget
