We need to side-step existing cross-origin checks in Performance Timing code
when the caller is a web extension content script that otherwise has permission
to access the cross-origin resource.

The logic for choosing the principal here was originally written before
loadInfo had a separate principalToInherit field, and we needed to specify it
via the triggeringPrincipal instead. At that point, we had to choose a
component principal with permission to load the URI at the start of the
request.
However, now that we have a separate field for the principal to inherit, it's
only needed after access checks have passed and we know that we have a URI
which inherits a principal. In that case, the current logic causes us to
always inherit the first principal in the whitelist (which is the page
principal) for URIs (such as data: URIs) that always inherit, where we really
want to inherit the last (which is the extension principal).

There are several ways that expanded principals can be used as triggering
principals for requests. While that works fine for security checks, it also
sometimes causes them to be inherited, and used as result principals in
contexts where expanded principals aren't allowed.
This patch changes our inheritance behavior so that expanded principals are
downgraded to the most appropriate constituent principal when they would
otherwise be inherited.
The logic for choosing the most appropriate principal is a bit suspect, and
may eventually need to be changed to always select the last whitelist
principal, but I chose it to preserve the current principal downgrade behavior
used by XMLHttpRequest for the time being.

The current API makes the life time and ownership of the result array unclear
without careful reading. The result array is always owned by the principal,
and its lifetime tied to the lifetime of the principal itself. Returning a
const array reference makes this clear, and should prevent callers from
accidentally modifying the returned array.

Bug 1400459 devirtualized nsIAtom so that it is no longer a subclass of
nsISupports. This means that nsAtom is now a better name for it than nsIAtom.

The extension policy services uses atoms internally for permission names, so
using them directly rather than strings is considerably cheaper.
