In this change we:
- stop treating the nsPluginDirServiceProvider as a directory provider, as its
GetFile implementation was a no-op anyway - registering it didn't make any
difference.
- stop treating it as a class entirely, because the PLID getters were already
static, so instantiating it also didn't do anything.
- move IO from the plugin directory list provider and the Windows-only PLID
getters into nsPluginHost. This enables us to move it off of the main thread
later - the directory getting has to happen on the main thread, but we can
postpone further checks on the nsIFile instances.
- in the process, stop doing exists() calls on files because we can fail more
lazily. This allows us to remove more allowlist entries from
browser_startup_mainthreadio, though the `isDirectory` calls will actually
still cause IO - they don't seem to create IO markers in the profiler.
We will move this IO away from the main thread in subsequent commits.
