This class isn't being used right now, and MozURL is a much better alternative if interaction with rust URLs is required.

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.

This makes the code nicer. In particular, it removes many getter_Copies()
calls. The patch also converts a lot of nsCStrings to nsAutoCString, which will
avoid heap allocation in the common case.
The patch also renames PREF_CopyCharPref() as PREF_GetCStringPref(), because
it's actually getting a string, not a char, and that matches the existing
GetCString() and GetDefaultCString() methods. Correspondingly, it also renames
PREF_SetCharPref() as PREF_SetCStringPref().
The |aPrefName| arguments in nsIPrefBranch.idl remain as |string| because they
almost always involve passing in C string literals, and passing "foo" is much
nicer than passing NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("foo").
It's worth noting that early versions of this patch used |AUTF8String| instead
of |ACString|. But it turns out that libpref stores prefs internally as Latin1.
And |ACString| is compatible with Latin1 but |AUTF8String| isn't, because
non-ASCII Latin1 strings are not valid UTF-8!

Right now, NS_GENERIC_FACTORY_SINGLETON_CONSTRUCTOR expects singleton
constructors to return already-addrefed raw pointers, and while it accepts
constructors that return already_AddRefed, most existing don't do so.
Meanwhile, the convention elsewhere is that a raw pointer return value is
owned by the callee, and that the caller needs to addref it if it wants to
keep its own reference to it.
The difference in convention makes it easy to leak (I've definitely caused
more than one shutdown leak this way), so it would be better if we required
the singleton getters to return an explicit already_AddRefed, which would
behave the same for all callers.
This also cleans up several singleton constructors that left a dangling
pointer to their singletons when their initialization methods failed, when
they released their references without clearing their global raw pointers.

This lets us replace moz_xstrdup() of string literals with AssignLiteral(),
among other improvements.

Conceivably, we could allow a few more prefetches than this would (based
on the headers in the original request matching up to a header listed in
the Vary response header), but this is safer in case (for example)
future requests of this resource end up sending a cookie that wasn't set
on the original request. In practice, the difference is likely to be
small enough that this broader stroke won't make a huge impact on the
number of things we do or don't prefetch.
