Since python creates little-endian utf-16 consistently whether
cross-compiling from Linux or compiling natively on macOS, we could
write a small script that essentially replaces iconv. On the other hand,
we're also doing some manual preprocessing on the InfoPlist.strings.in
files, and we might as well use the preprocessor for that.
So, we augment the preprocessor to allow an explicit output encoding
other than utf-8, and use the preprocessor instead of `sed | iconv`.

The `clobber` targets are superseded by `mach clobber`, so we don't need them for any reason. The `clean` target is meant to get you to a post-`configure` state, but it doesn't really work, and if it's necessary for you to be in that state for some reason you can just clobber and re-`configure`, so it doesn't seem worth it to get it working again. Instead, delete all of them. Also delete `everything` which is not useful when `clobber` doesn't exist.

This happened because the `browser/app/macbuild/Contents/MacOS-files.in` file had the string `firefox-bin` hardcoded, which introduces packaging failures down the line. The naive solution didn't work however because we don't preprocess this file. (This is apparently an error. We SHOULD have been doing this from day one, since this file contains preprocessor directives that are ignored by `rsync` since `#` is its "comment" character.) So preprocess the file and update the `Makefile` accordingly.

Having a full VPATH for the srcdir sometimes causes make to grab the
wrong prerequisite for a rule, in particular if we have a file in the
srcdir and also generate a file of the same name in the objdir. We don't
really need VPATH anymore though, since most of the information comes
from mozbuild, where we can explicitly list the path to the srcdir or
objdir as necessary.

Last attempt, a few years ago, blatantly failed because nautilus (the
GNOME file manager) can't start PIE executables, which look like shared
libraries, and that it thus considers not being executables.
Downstreams don't actually have the problem, because users won't be
launching Firefox from a file manager, but for mozilla.org builds, it is
a problem because users would download, then extract, and then likely
try to run the Firefox executable from a file manager.
So for mozilla.org builds, we still need to find a way around the
nautilus problem.
A .desktop file could be a solution, but .desktop files have not
actually been designed for this use case, which leads to:
- having to use an awful one-liner shell wrapper to derive the path
to the executable from that of the .desktop file,
- not even being able to associate an icon,
- the .desktop file not being copiable to a location where .desktop
files would normally go, because it would then fail to find the
executable.
Another possibility is to go back to using a shell wrapper, but that's
not entirely appealing.
What we chose here is similar, where we have a small `firefox` wrapper
that launches the real `firefox-bin` (which is still leftover from those
old times where we had a shell wrapper, for reasons).
The small `firefox` wrapper is a minimalist C executable that just
finds the path to the `firefox-bin` executable and executes it with the
same args it was called with. The wrapper is only enabled when the
MOZ_NO_PIE_COMPAT environment variable is set, which we only take into
account on Linux. The variable is only really meant to be used for
mozilla.org builds, for the nautilus problem. Downstreams will just pick
the default, which is changed to build PIE.
On other platforms, PIE was already enabled by default, so we just
remove the --enable-pie configure flag.

Historically we built all our binaries in directories in the objdir, then
symlinked them into dist/bin. Some binaries needed to be copied instead
so that certain relative path lookups work properly, so we resorted to
sprinkling `NSDISTMODE=copy` around Makefiles.
This change makes it so we build PROGRAMs (not any other sort of targets)
directly in dist/bin instead. We could do the same for our other targets
with a little more work.
There were several places in the tree that were copying built binaries to
some other place and needed fixup to match the new location of binaries.
On Windows pdb files are left in the objdir where the program was
originally linked. symbolstore.py needs to locate the pdb file both to
determine whether it should dump symbols for a binary and also to copy
the pdb file into the symbol package. We fix this by simply looking for
the pdb file in the current working directory if it isn't present next
to the binary, which matches how we invoke symbolstore.py.

This was awkward because it doesn't want to end up under dist/bin/browser,
but DIST_SUBDIR is exported here. firefox.exe doesn't want to end up under
dist/bin/browser either, so we unset DIST_SUBDIR for this directory and
move the files that need it to a different directory.

Before bug 1348069, MS manifest tool was used to embed manifest files.[1]
The Makefile used to use EXTRA_DEPS to invoke the manifest tool when a manifest files is changed. But it is no longer effective because the manifest file namepattern is no longer $@.exe.manifest.
Now manifest files will be embedded via .res files. So we have to rebuild .res files to update embedded manifests.

The .app directory for OSX builds is created piecemeal by several
commands in browser/app/Makefile.in, however it isn't normally cleaned
by a build. If a file is removed from the tree, it's possible that an
incremental build will still have a copy in the .app dir and get
packaged up in the final dmg. It's simple to just rm -rf this directory
beforehand.

This patch needs to use different manifests depending on whether we are building
32-bit or 64-bit Firefox. In order to distinguish between them, I am using
checking for HAVE_64BIT_BUILD in the resource file and embedding the manifests
there.
