/**
 * IPC-aware StructuredCloneHolder subclass that serves as both a helper class
 * for dealing with message data (blobs, transferables) and also an IPDL
 * data-type in cases where message data is not needed.  If your use-case does
 * not (potentially) involve IPC, then you should use StructuredCloneHolder or
 * one of its other subclasses instead.
 *
 * ## Usage ##
 *
 * The general recipe for using this class is:
 * - In your IPDL definition, use the ClonedMessageData type whenever you want
 *   to send a structured clone that may include blobs or transferables such as
 *   message ports.
 * - To send the data, instantiate a StructuredCloneData instance and Write()
 *   into it like a normal structure clone.  When you are ready to send the
 *   ClonedMessageData-bearing IPC message, use the appropriate
 *   BuildClonedMessageDataFor{Parent,Child,BackgroundParent,BackgroundChild}
 *   method to populate the ClonedMessageData and then send it before your
 *   StructuredCloneData instance is destroyed.  (Buffer borrowing is used
 *   under-the-hood to avoid duplicating the serialized data, requiring this.)
 * - To receive the data, instantiate a StructuredCloneData and use the
 *   appropriate {Borrow,Copy,Steal}FromClonedMessageDataFor{Parent,Child,
 *   BackgroundParent,BackgroundChild} method.  See the memory management
 *   section for more info.
 *
 * Variations:
 * - If transferables are not allowed (ex: BroadcastChannel), then use the
 *   StructuredCloneDataNoTransfers subclass instead of StructuredCloneData.
 *
 * ## Memory Management ##
 *
 * Serialized structured clone representations can be quite large.  So it's best
 * to avoid wasteful duplication.  When Write()ing into the StructuredCloneData,
 * you don't need to worry about this[1], but when you already have serialized
 * structured clone data you plan to Read(), you do need to.  Similarly, if
 * you're using StructuredCloneData as an IPDL type, it efficiently unmarshals.
 *
 * The from-ClonedMessageData memory management strategies available are:
 * - Borrow: Create a JSStructuredCloneData that holds a non-owning, read-only
 *   BufferList::Borrow()ed copy of the source.  Your StructuredCloneData needs
 *   to be destroyed before the source is.  Commonly used when the
 *   StructuredCloneData instance is stack-allocated (and Read() is used before
 *   the function returns).
 * - Copy: Makes a reference-counted copy of the source JSStructuredCloneData,
 *   making it safe for the StructuredCloneData to outlive the source data.
 * - Steal: Steal the buffers from the underlying JSStructuredCloneData so that
 *   it's safe for the StructuredCloneData to outlive the source data.  This is
 *   safe to use with IPC-provided ClonedMessageData instances because
 *   JSStructuredCloneData's IPC ParamTraits::Read method uses ExtractBuffers,
 *   returning a fatal false if unable to extract.  (And
 *   SerializedStructuredCloneBuffer wraps/defers to it.)  But if it's possible
 *   the ClonedMessageData came from a different source that might have borrowed
 *   the buffers itself, then things will crash.  That would be a pretty crazy
 *   implementation; if you see one, change it to use SharedJSAllocatedData.
 *
 * 1: Specifically, in the Write() case an owning SharedJSAllocatedData is
 *    created efficiently (by stealing from StructuredCloneHolder).  The
 *    BuildClonedMessageDataFor* method can be called at any time and it will
 *    borrow the underlying memory.  While it would be even better if
 *    SerializedStructuredCloneBuffer could hold a SharedJSAllocatedData ref,
 *    there's no reason you can't wait to BuildClonedMessageDataFor* until you
 *    need to make the IPC Send* call.
