Dehydra/Treehydra is unmaintained, broken (iirc), and obsoleted by clang
static analysis. We've removed parts of the build system support for it, but
not all. This is meant to remove the remains.
Before making top-level traverse js/src moz.build files, there was a need to
distinguish between top-level traversing e.g. top-level moz.build or
config/moz.build and js/src traversing them. With a single traversal of both
moz.build sets, we now only need to distinguish between js standalone builds
and gecko builds.
There is still, however, a need to distinguish between top-level vs. js/src
configure runs on gecko builds to make them subconfigure icu and libffi from
top-level instead of js/src in js standalone builds, or when choosing to make
js/src's config.status do something when run or not.
Before, we would run configure in both top-level and js/src, and both
configures would traverse their own set of moz.builds, without actual
knowledge about the other. With this change, both configures still run,
but only top-level traverses moz.build files, and uses js/src's
config.status when traversing its moz.build files. This allows a better
sharing of information between both build systems and the removal of many
hacks.
This also moves running libffi and icu configure to top-level.
Standalone js builds still have their own configure doing moz.build traversal,
as before.
