`mscom::ProcessRuntime` supports multiple instances because Reasons (TM).
To make this happen, we store some information in `mozglue` that enforces
serialization between instances and also informs an instance as to whether
any other instances have successfully completed initialization.
Unfortunately it is possible for us to encounter situations where one instance
manages to *partially* but not *completely* finish initialization. Since our
shared information is currently a simple `bool`, we cannot really capture this
case.
Furthermore, APIs such as `CoInitializeSecurity` will actually fail if called
again after previous activity, so we should guard against multiple invocations
within the same process.
To improve this situation, I'd like to replace the shared `bool` with a typed
enum that can provide finer-grained information as to how far a previous
instance actually managed to get.

This should make the logic around clearing a MessageChannel more obviously
correct by holding the mutex when accessing fields which are traditionally
guarded by the mutex. These lock calls shouldn't introduce performance issues
as the lock should be uncontended.

This state was only used by the ProcessLink MessageLink implementation, and no
longer exists with the new PortLink implementation, so can be removed.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D119353
Now that PortLink is the only MessageLink implementation, it is no longer
necessary to support sharing a single `RefCountedMonitor` between multiple
MessageChannels, meaning that we can construct the monitor directly in the
`MessageChannel` constructor. The monitor still needs to be refcounted due to
being used by the PortLink as part of the listener implementation.

This makes things generally more clear, and avoids a long list of initializers
in the MessageChannel constructor. In addition, some fields which are never
modified are marked as `const`.

We will only run the processes in CET compatible modules only mode when not

We use the process handle returned from `CreateProcess` to derive
another handle with more permissions, but the original handle is never
closed. This bug appears to be fairly old: it existed before this code
was converted to use MozPromise.
Currently we provide the original handle to external consumers of the
launch promise; this patch resolves the promise with the privileged
handle instead and closes the original one. (One consumer uses the
handle only to obtain the pid, and the rest don't use it at all, so this
shouldn't change anything.)
As a related cleanup, `ProcessLaunchPromise` is now exclusive (because
it's resolved with resources which are consumed) and no longer declared
in the header file (because it's used only internally).

After looking through the methods which have this assertion, I couldn't
find any examples of places where not having a specific "link thread"
sequence would cause any issues. I think these assertions can and should
be removed.
The main change required by this was to remove the `!NS_IsMainThread()`
assertion from the SchedulerGroup listener. Due to how callbacks work,
it would be possible for a vsync message to be detected by a
MessageChannel from the main thread if it was sent before the channel
was bound. I don't believe that this change should cause any issues.

This change stores a generated nsID directly on the LoadInfo, rather
than the full SandboxedLoadingPrincipal. This allows for the sandboxed
principal to be constructed from GetChannelResultPrincipal using the
unsandboxed result principal as a precursor, rather than the loading
principal.
The nsID is reset by HttpChannelBase whenever a non-internal redirect
occurs to reduce the chance of multiple null result principals during a
redirect with the same nsID, but different precursors.

If GetMainThreadIdleScheduler is called after IPC is destroyed it can
attempt to start it as if it's the first use, which crashes. Instead check
if we've already destroyed the scheduler once and if so then return early.

This implements Jamie's suggested fixes for a screenreader issue when the
skeleton UI is enabled. Most of the work here is just pulling out pieces from the
files we needed to include in mozglue so that any references to, say, nsString
or other pieces from libxul either no longer exist or are only included when
building libxul. In a few cases this meant creating whole files to house single
functions, which isn't so pretty, but it was the best I could come up with to
get the job done.

This patch launches content processes with the `MOZ_HEADLESS` env var set
if they're using GTK with an X11 display (and there's no other reason
they'd need GTK).
The goal is to avoid exhausting Xorg's default limit of 256 clients if
there are many content processes due to Fission. If these conditions
are met, the content process doesn't need to eagerly connect to the X
server. This does not affect the sandbox policy, and content processes
can still use X if needed for, e.g., WebGL.
The boolean pref `dom.ipc.avoid-gtk`, set by default, controls this
feature. In the future it could also be extended to minimize GTK use
with Wayland displays.
Note that disabling `widget.non-native-theme.enabled`, which is also
enabled by default, will restore the use of X11 in all content processes
even if this pref is set; the alternative is that widgets wouldn't render
in that case.
This change will also save some memory for now-unnecessary instances of
GTK's global state, and improve content process startup time.
Remove also the temp pref dom.ipc.remote-mozIcon because it cannot work
anymore with the content process being headless.

These port attachments are stored directly on the IPC::Message until the
message is ready to be routed to another process, at which point they will be
attached to the port in WillBeRoutedExternally. When the message is then
received on the other side, the ports will be re-extracted from the
UserMessageEvent before it is discarded and re-added to the IPC::Message so
that serializers only need to interact directly with the IPC::Message type.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D116669
This is used because, unlike in Mojo, we cannot get from the IPC::Message
object to its enclosing UserMessageEvent object to attach more ports to it, and
this extra parameter makes that easy to do.

This extends on the changes in part 12a and consumes the new PortRef-based API

This also consumes the existing channel created when launching a process to
create the the conneciton required by NodeController for communicating between
processes. In part 12b, consumers of the broken APIs will be adjusted to use
the new interface.
The new routing approach is not used for the fork server process, as an IO
thread and the NodeController object cannot be initialized before the fork has
been performed, and the IPC requirements of that process are fairly minimal.
