Additionally, this patch makes `nsContentUtils::DispatchXULCommand()` because
it guarantees the lifetime of **only** `PresShell` in it. So, we need to check
the lifetime of each argument at each caller here.

This patch makes `nsDocShell::GetPresShell()` and
`nsDocShell::GetEldestPresShell()` return `mozilla::PresShell*` and
some non-public methods use `mozilla::PresShell*` directly.

It seems that in some scenarios, the lifetime of the visual viewport
object exceeds the lifetime of the prescontext. In particular, the
prescontext produced by GetPresContext() can be torn down and a new one
installed. This can leave the visual viewport in a wedged state where it
has scheduled events to be dispatched, but they will never actually be
dispatched, and then subsequent events will not get scheduled. This
patch checks to see if the prescontext has changed, and if so, discards
the old events and reschedules new ones.

The VisualViewport events are all nice and shiny, but unfortunately not quite
what is needed for the session store.
Firstly, the spec wants the "scroll" event to be fired only when the *relative*
offset between visual and layout viewport changes. The session store however
records the absolute offset and as such is interested in when *that* changes.
Secondly, again as per the spec the events don't bubble, and with the default
DOMEventTargetHelper implementation they don't escape the VisualViewport during
capturing, either. This means that any event listener must be added directly on
the VisualViewport itself in order to capture any events.
This might have been intended because the events use the same names as the
normal "scroll"/"resize" events, and as such you cannot specify separate event
listeners for VisualViewport and non-VisualViewport "scroll" events if both
events end up being dispatched to the same element (you can only try to filter
after the fact by looking at the originalTarget of the event).
At the same time, the VisualViewport is attached to the inner Window, and so
each time you navigate, you also get a different VisualViewport object.
All of this might be totally fine from the perspective of a page script, because
in that case you won't care anyway about what happens when the current page goes
away.
From the session store perspective on the other hand (especially Fennec's non-
e10s session store design), this is rather unfortunate because we don't want to
have to keep registering event listeners
a) manually for each subframe
b) each time the page navigates
The event target chain problem could be solved by letting the scroll events
escape the VisualViewport during the capturing phase (which the spec doesn't say
anything about), but this would mean that any scroll listener attached to a
window/browser/... that uses capturing will now catch both layout and visual
viewport scroll events.
In some cases this might even be beneficial, but in others (e.g. bug 1498812
comment 21) I'd like to specifically decide which kind of scroll event to
capture. Having to look at event.originalTarget to distinguish the two kinds
might be defensible in test code, but in case this distinction would be needed
in production code as well, given the existence of a C++-based filtering helper
in nsSessionStoreUtils for another use case where (scroll) events need to be
filtered, JS-based scroll event filtering might be a bad idea.
Additionally, in any case this wouldn't solve the fundamental conflict between
the spec and the session store about *when* the "scroll" event should be fired
in the first place.
Hence I'd like to introduce a separate set of events with distinct event names,
which will be dispatched according to the requirements of our internal users
(i.e. currently the session store). To avoid potential web compatibility issues
down the road, for now these events will be dispatched only to event listeners
registered in the system group (allowing *all* Chrome event listeners cannot be
done because checking the Chrome status of each event target might be too
expensive for frequently dispatched events).

Internally, Gecko stores and updates the *absolute* offset between the visual
viewport and the page, however the spec demands that the scroll event be fired
whenever the *relative* offset between visual and layout viewport changes.

The event rate throttling mechanism is modelled on the logic for "scroll" events
in nsGfxScrollFrame.cpp.
That is
1. When a request to fire an event is posted to the VisualViewport, we create a
new runnable for this and register it with the RefreshDriver. If we already
have a pending runnable, calling VisualViewport->Post...Event() becomes a
no-op.
2. When the RefreshDriver is ready, it executes the runnable, which in turn
fires the actual event and then cleans itself up.
To keep this patch manageable, we simply fire a scroll event every time the
stored visual viewport offset is changed. Because we are storing the absolute
offset of the viewport relative to the page, this behaviour doesn't match the
spec, which demands that scroll events are fired only when the relative offset
between visual and layout viewport changes. We'll fix this up in the next patch.
