There are two big parts in the MSVC toolchain we use:
- the Windows 10 SDK
- Visual C++
For the former, both the 15.8.4 and 15.9.6 toolchains are using the same
version of the Win10 SDK.
For the latter, we're not using the compiler itself anymore, so the only
substantial difference is in the headers and libraries included with
Visual C++, as well as the redist libraries for the CRT. Both versions
are supposed to be compatible to the same set of OS versions, fitting
our system requirements.
This makes us use the same version of MSVC on all our Windows builds
(arm64 builds were already on 15.9.6).

As far as I can see, all this does is protect the user from
running some useless code if they manually enable the priority
manager using a pref on an OS that doesn't support it. The
upside of allowing this is that it makes it possible to debug
the priority manager on OSX and Linux with just a pref flip.

Since bug 1632542 we have a new major clang version, several new versions worth of rustc, new pass manager during LTO, and of course eight months worth of code change. Time for a refresh. Same process as the earlier bug.

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).

This was the last flag that the PrintOptions bitfield was tracking.
So, this patch is effectively converting that bitfield (and its alias
"PrintOptionsBits") into a new, simpler boolean field named
"isPrintSelectionRBEnabled".

Now that upstream winchecksec builds and works natively on Linux, use
that. That should solve the random crashes under Wine. If random crashes
still happen, it will be easier to debug anyways.
We bump to the last version that doesn't use vcpkg because vcpkg makes
things more difficult.

The original commit message for the order files says "It's OK if these files are slightly out of date", and that's true. However, in the 11 months since then, our builds have undergone major changes that affect large numbers of final symbol names, like switching from Frontend to IR PGO, and enabling the new pass manager. I think at this point a refresh wouldn't hurt.
I generated these files by locally creating a "stage 2.5" PGO build that's both `-fprofile-use` _and_ `-finstrument-functions-after-inlining`, and otherwise following the instructions from bug 1444171. Doing this at the `use` stage rather than the `gen` stage lets us get around the problem of mixing IR and Frontend instrumentation. It also gets us a more accurate picture of the final optimizations.
I haven't exhaustively run this through Talos. I did some spot checks, most were within noise, Speedometer maaybe gets 0.6%. I don't think this is worth hogging the talos machines for a full run, we can get the results after landing.
If for no other reason, this is worth doing to reduce 8000 lines of warning LNK4037 (order file refers to a nonexistent symbol) in build logs down to about 15.

This needs a few adjustments to the autobinscope script because running
binscope currently creates an HTML file in the binscope directory, and
when multiple binscopes run at the same time (which happens during the
build with the changes to run it on all executables and libraries), all
but one fail to open the HTML file for write access.
So add a flag to create that file in a temporary directory.
While here, remove log_file_path, which hasn't been used since
bug 1448306.

Adding --no-insert-timestamp to APPEND_LINKFLAGS for nsis is not working as it
is used for both the host and cross-compiled parts, but this option is
only valid for the Windows linker. Therefore we add it using a patch
to the cross-compilation part only.

We're planning on switching to IR-based profiling, so we can't use the
frontend-based instrumentation to collect the order in which functions
are executed...at least not during the build itself. Performance tests
indicate that not having the order information decreases performance
significantly. So we're going to check in static files for Win32 and
Win64 and use those to perform the ordering. It's OK if these files are
slightly out of date; as of this writing, builds that generate and then
use these files complain that ~1/3 of the functions can't be found (!).
We're just trying to do something slightly smarter than whatever the
linker default is.
