This lets us replace moz_xstrdup() of string literals with AssignLiteral(),
among other improvements.

Currently the Gecko Profiler defines a moderate amount of stuff when
MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER is undefined. It also #includes various headers, including
JS ones. This is making it difficult to separate Gecko's media stack for
inclusion in Servo.
This patch greatly simplifies how things are exposed. The starting point is:
- GeckoProfiler.h can be #included unconditionally;
- everything else from the profiler must be guarded by MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER.
In practice this introduces way too many #ifdefs, so the patch loosens it by
adding no-op macros for a number of the most common operations.
The net result is that #ifdefs and macros are used a bit more, but almost
nothing is exposed in non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds (including
ProfilerMarkerPayload.h and GeckoProfiler.h), and understanding what is exposed
is much simpler than before.
Note also that in BHR, ThreadStackHelper is now entirely absent in
non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds.
The return of these functions is actually (DWORD) –1

This patch refactors the nsThread event queue to clean it up and to make it easier to restructure. The fundamental concepts are as follows:
Each nsThread will have a pointer to a refcounted SynchronizedEventQueue. A SynchronizedEQ takes care of doing the locking and condition variable work when posting and popping events. For the actual storage of events, it delegates to an AbstractEventQueue data structure. It keeps a UniquePtr to the AbstractEventQueue that it uses for storage.
Both SynchronizedEQ and AbstractEventQueue are abstract classes. There is only one concrete implementation of SynchronizedEQ in this patch, which is called ThreadEventQueue. ThreadEventQueue uses locks and condition variables to post and pop events the same way nsThread does. It also encapsulates the functionality that DOM workers need to implement their special event loops (PushEventQueue and PopEventQueue). In later Quantum DOM work, I plan to have another SynchronizedEQ implementation for the main thread, called SchedulerEventQueue. It will have special code for the cooperatively scheduling threads in Quantum DOM.
There are two concrete implementations of AbstractEventQueue in this patch: EventQueue and PrioritizedEventQueue. EventQueue replaces the old nsEventQueue. The other AbstractEventQueue implementation is PrioritizedEventQueue, which uses multiple queues for different event priorities.
The final major piece here is ThreadEventTarget, which splits some of the code for posting events out of nsThread. Eventually, my plan is for multiple cooperatively scheduled nsThreads to be able to share a ThreadEventTarget. In this patch, though, each nsThread has its own ThreadEventTarget. The class's purpose is just to collect some related code together.
One final note: I tried to avoid virtual dispatch overhead as much as possible. Calls to SynchronizedEQ methods do use virtual dispatch, since I plan to use different implementations for different threads with Quantum DOM. But all the calls to EventQueue methods should be non-virtual. Although the methods are declared virtual, all the classes used are final and the concrete classes involved should all be known through templatization.

This parameter isn't used by any implementation of onDispatchedEvent,
and keeping the parameter makes later refactorings in this bug more difficult.

For some reason, I continuously ran into windows x64 specific failures when
trying to read this heap allocated data while the main thread was paused. I
don't know specifically how this happened, but I am able to avoid it by instead
directly allocating the buffer in a `mozilla::Array` in static storage, and
copying that data instead.

We want people to transition to using event targets rather than threads when possible. These
getters should make it easier to make that change.

Accumulates the time in between running unlabeled runnables in a histogram. This
measurement will be useful to see how much of a win the cooperative scheduler
will be, assuming we label no more runnables.

This function is arguably nicer than calling NS_ProcessNextEvent
manually, is slightly more efficient, and will enable better auditing
for NS_ProcessNextEvent when we do Quantum DOM scheduling changes.
NS_SetCurrentThreadName() is added as an alternative to PR_SetCurrentThreadName()
inside libxul. The thread names are collected in the form of crash annotation to
be processed on socorro.
