aForceRepaint wasn't doing what it claimed to do at all, as we've recently
learned. In current mozilla-central:
* All those arguments ended up in a RecvRenderLayers with aForceRepaint = true
(so far so good, that's expected).
* But it was ignored (so that aForceRepaint is always true to calls to
MakeVisible) from UpdateVisibility:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f43ae7e1c43a4a940b658381157a6ea6c5a185c1/dom/ipc/BrowserChild.cpp#2523
* Plus that argument only does anything useful on current central if we get to
the end of MakeVisible(true). And MakeVisible() early returns if already
visible.
So all in all this seems somewhat useless, and nobody has complained about such
a thing in a long time.
It seemed to do what it promised when it was introduced in
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/27f6f789b194, but it seems the
refactoring in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4df5fa6fa785 broke it.
I think the new setup is somewhat easier to reason about, and nobody seems to be
missing that.
I'll try to remove the forceRepaint() call itself on a follow-up.

This patch adds an ID to ensure that we avoid canceling content JS if the next
page already started loading by the time we're ready to try canceling the JS.

In this part, we pass along the navigation type (and index for when using the
dropdown on the back/forward buttons). This allows us to check if there's a
top-level load "between" the start and end pages.
The patch might look a bit strange, since we're passing the navigation
operation to two places from RemoteWebNavigation.js (the normal message passing
that existed before this patch and the HangMonitor channel in this patch). This
is primarily to make it easier to stop passing the navigation info along the
HangMonitor channel once session history is uplifted into the parent process.
At that point, the check for whether there's a top-level load could happen in
TabParent (I think).

This patch passes a message through the HangMonitor channel when navigating
through history to cancel content JS that could hang the chrome JS in the
content process responsible for history navigation. If the content JS is
actually canceled, this also disables the BF cache for the current page, since
it could end up in an inconsistent state due to the JS cancellation.

This is fairly straightforward, other than the fact that the
nomenclature gets a bit awkward with the aForce parameter on
the ForcePaint methods. I'm not sure which direction to go with
this - "aForce" seems a fairly intuitive name for what we want,
and I'm kind of inclined to say the existing ForcePaint mechanic
should be renamed to something like PaintWithInterrupt, or
PaintWithPriority.

This event is no longer necessary, since checking nsITabParent.hasPresented is enough to know
if we need to blank out the tab or not.

mContentParent is really just to be used while handling a synchronous
ContentParent::RecvLoadPlugin call when async plugin init turned on.
In any other context, using it will be unsafe.
This patch adds comments and assertions to ensure that this value isn't set
otherwise, and converts the one use of mContentParent outside of async plugin
init to use an alternative mechanism for identifying the content process.
