This patch replaces the large -intPrefs/-boolPrefs/-stringPrefs flags with
a short-lived, anonymous, shared memory segment that is used to pass the early
prefs.
Removing the bloat from the command line is nice, but more important is the
fact that this will let us pass more prefs at content process start-up, which
will allow us to remove the early/late prefs split (bug 1436911).
Although this mechanism is only used for prefs, it's conceivable that it could
be used for other data that must be received very early by children, and for
which the command line isn't ideal.
Notable details:
- Much of the patch deals with the various platform-specific ways of passing
handles/fds to children.
- Linux and Mac: we use a fixed fd (8) in combination with the new
GeckoChildProcessHost::AddFdToRemap() function (which ensures the child
won't close the fd).
- Android: like Linux and Mac, but the handles get passed via "parcels" and
we use the new SetPrefsFd() function instead of the fixed fd.
- Windows: there is no need to duplicate the handle because Windows handles
are system-wide. But we do use the new
GeckoChildProcessHost::AddHandleToShare() function to add it to the list of
inheritable handles. We also ensure that list is processed on all paths
(MOZ_SANDBOX with sandbox, MOZ_SANDBOX without sandbox, non-MOZ_SANDBOX) so
that the handles are marked as inheritable. The handle is passed via the
-prefsHandle flag.
The -prefsLen flag is used on all platforms to indicate the size of the
shared memory segment.
- The patch also moves the serialization/deserialization of the prefs in/out of
the shared memory into libpref, which is a better spot for it. (This means
Preferences::MustSendToContentProcesses() can be removed.)

BasicDllServices is a simplified implementation that allows programs other than
Firefox to link against mozglue and access DLL services without requiring any
XPCOM baggage.
To reliably detect corrupt APK, this patch adds a GeckoLoader.verifyCRC
call to enable verification of CRC before extracting libs.

This patch builds upon the existing DLL services functionality:
1) We add code to obtain the name of the subject from the cert used to sign a
binary (if present). This code is added inside mozglue because in the future
we will be using this code from the DLL blocklist, which is also located
there.
2) We add annotation functionality that registers itself for DLL load events
and updates crash reporter annotations as new libraries are loaded. It also
annotates any existing libraries that are also in memory at the time that the
CertAnnotator is first instantiated. This all happens off main thread, with
the exception of actually making the annotation when in a child process.

It was added in bug 683127 as a forced include for nspr, and

support dladdr.

When looping through the debugger helper links during our
dl_iterate_phdr implementation, we effectively race with other threads
dlclose()ing libraries while we're working.
We do have a (rather involved) check in place to ensure that elf headers
are readable. But it turns out in practice, some dlclose() do happen
between the check and the actual read of the elf headers.
Unfortunately, we can't lock the system linker while we're looping, so a
better approach is to only loop through the libraries we loaded, and
rely on the system dl_iterate_phdr to iterate over the (remaining)
system libraries.
Unfortunately (again), Android versions < 5.0 don't have a system
dl_iterate_phdr, so we have to rely on the old iterator when it's not
present.

Because one entry point is simpler than two, we make replace_init fulfil
both the roles of replace_init and replace_get_bridge.
Note this should be binary compatible with older replace-malloc
libraries, albeit not detecting their bridge (and with the
previous change, they do not register anyways). So loading older
replace-malloc libraries should do nothing, but not crash in awful ways.

The allocator API is a moving target, and every time we change it, the
surface for replace-malloc libraries grows. This causes some build
system problems, because of the tricks in replace_malloc.mk, which
require the full list of symbols.
Considering the above and the goal of moving some of the replace-malloc
libraries into mozglue, it becomes simpler to reduce the replace-malloc
exposure to the initialization functions.
So instead of the allocator poking into replace-malloc libraries for all
the functions, we expect their replace_init function to alter the table
of allocator functions it's passed to register its own functions.
This means replace-malloc implementations now need to copy the original
table, which is not a bad thing, as it allows function calls with one
level of indirection less. It also replace_init functions to not
actually register the replace-malloc functions in some cases, which will
be useful when linking some replace-malloc libraries into mozglue.
Note this is binary compatible with previously built replace-malloc
libraries, but because those libraries wouldn't update the function
table, they would stay disabled.
