I think the intent of these calls is to not copy the information strings
passed in, but to simply convert them to a friendlier nsString container
for processing.
In the TelephonyDialCallback case, we're copying the strings only to
convert them to an array of JS::Value, which copies the data again. We
might as well avoid one of the copies.
In the TelephonyParent case, we're copying the strings only to send them
over an IPC channel. Therefore, it's safe to not copy the strings
initially, because the original strings will remain live long enough to
send the IPC message.
The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.
