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.

Currently the Gecko Profiler defines a moderate amount of stuff when
MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER is undefined. It also #includes various headers, including
JS ones. This is making it difficult to separate Gecko's media stack for
inclusion in Servo.
This patch greatly simplifies how things are exposed. The starting point is:
- GeckoProfiler.h can be #included unconditionally;
- everything else from the profiler must be guarded by MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER.
In practice this introduces way too many #ifdefs, so the patch loosens it by
adding no-op macros for a number of the most common operations.
The net result is that #ifdefs and macros are used a bit more, but almost
nothing is exposed in non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds (including
ProfilerMarkerPayload.h and GeckoProfiler.h), and understanding what is exposed
is much simpler than before.
Note also that in BHR, ThreadStackHelper is now entirely absent in
non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds.
Restrict the MRU cache for eTLD lookups to main thread only. This allows off
main thread lookups, but they will just take a slower path.

These are all easy cases where an nsXPIDLCString local variable is set via
getter_Copies() and then is only used in ways that nsCStrings can also be used
(i.e. no null checks or implicit conversions to |char*|).
In every case the patch trivially replaces the nsXPIDLCString with an
nsCString. (Also, there are a couple of unused nsXPIDLCString variables that
the patch simply removes.)
CompareCacheHashEntry::mCrit[] is the only case where the nsXPIDLString-ness
was important. The patch adds an explicit SetIsVoid() call to that class's
constructor and changes some null checks to IsVoid() checks.

This adds a most recently used (MRU) cache for the most common base domain
requests (aAddtionalParts == 1). With a table size of 31 I saw 8777 hits and
22 misses when loading twitter, youtube, and techcrunch. In stress testing
this provided a 75% reduction in run time.

All the instances are converted as follows.
- nsAFlatString --> nsString
- nsAFlatCString --> nsCString

Also removes some dead code.
A lot of the code in ExtensionUtils.jsm is not needed in all processes, and a
lot of the rest isn't needed until extension code runs. Most of it winds up
being loaded into all processes way earlier than necessary.

// When non empty all non-localhost DNS queries (including IP addresses)
// resolve to this value. The value can be a name or an IP address.
// domains mapped to localhost with localDomains stay localhost.
pref("network.dns.forceResolve", "");
Testing is the primary use case here - replay captive data on a 'fake
server' by directing all traffic to it at the DNS level. Chrome has
something similar.
