Previously, Windows toolchains and related dependencies (SDKs, etc)
were installed on Windows builders by people responsible for
maintaining those machines.
This commit takes a step in a new direction. We introduce a
script (complete with documentation) that can produce a zip
archive (or any archive format if people want to implement
support) of the toolchain files. Basically, you install
Visual Studio 2015 Community, run the script, and produce
a self-contained zip file containing everything from Microsoft
you need to build Firefox. With a copy of this archive and
an installation of MozillaBuild, it is possible to build
Firefox on a fresh Windows installation. No time-consuming
Visual Studio installation needed.
The goal is to upload these archives to tooltool and have
our Windows builders download and extract them at run-time.
At which time, we can remove all the other Visual Studio
and SDK files from builders because they don't need to be
baked into the image.
We may find tooltool's caching isn't good enough and we have
to more aggressively caching the standalone toolchain files.
But that is a problem for another day. Whatever happens,
we'll need the functionality in this script to produce
a self-contained archive of the toolchain.
There are certainly files in the produced archive that aren't
needed. I think perfect is the enemy of done and we can prune
the archive over time, if wanted.

Indicating a jar currently looks like the following in a jar manifest:
path/to/name.jar:
The `path/to` doesn't contain the implicit "chrome/" directory. This, in
turn, doesn't allow much flexibility to use the jar maker for what is not
necessarily under chrome/.
To use the jar maker to fill some chrome manifest for the default theme
extension, we currently use a hackish path to get to the right location,
and rely on the chrome.manifest file in the parent directory never to be
picked by the package manifest, which is a quite horrible way to do this,
but worked well enough for that specific use case.
With the need to handle system addons at the build system level, it
becomes necessary to come up with something less hackish.
What this change introduces is an additional syntax for the jar manifest,
in the following form:
[base/path] sub/path/to/name.jar:
Using this syntax, there is no implicit 'chrome' path. The `base/path` is
relative to the current DIST_SUBDIR, and the `sub/path` is relative to that
`base/path`. The distinction can be useful for build system backends.
The assumption that the "root" chrome.manifest is in the parent directory
of the implicit "chrome" directory dies, and the `base/path` is where the
root chrome.manifest is placed.
Sphinx has been complaining about a number of reStructuredText warnings
for a while. Fix all the ones in .rst files.
Not asking for review because this is docs only and changing .rst files
can't break anything important.
DONTBUILD (NPOTB)
The Files sub-context allows us to attach metadata to files based on
pattern matching rules.
Patterns are matched against files in a last-write-wins fashion.
The sub-context defines the BUG_COMPONENT variable, which is a 2-tuple
(actually a named tuple) defining the Bugzilla product and component for
files. There are no consumers yet. But an eventual use case will be to
suggest a bug component for a patch/commit. Another will be to
automatically suggest a bug component for a failing test.

There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree.
The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to
Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent
linkage, some standalone.
Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the
right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue
in most cases.
Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS
or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now
just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
A new moz.build-based build backend for Visual Studio project generation
has been added. The build backend can be used by specifying
'VisualStudio' to the backend option of config.status or mach
build-backend. e.g. `mach build-backend -b VisualStudio`.
Usage docs have been added to build/docs/visualstudio.rst.

Metrics for Sync have been added to Firefox Health Report. If Sync is
not configured, we'll report that fact and the supported and preferred
Sync protocols (1.1 or 1.5).
If Sync is configured, we report the daily counts of sync attempts and
how many are successful vs errored. We also report daily counts of the
device types attached to the account.

JAR_MANIFESTS can now be defined in moz.build files. However, due to
limitations in rules.mk, only 1 file may be defined at a time. In the
future, this restriction will be lifted. But first, better support for
JAR manifests in the build config must be built.
rules.mk will be updated in the subsequent conversion patch so this
patch applied alone doesn't break the build.
