Doug Thayer fa7b10106a Bug 1656526 - Show blank window prior to loading xul on Windows r=mhowell
See bug for justification. This patch aims to display a blank window prior to
loading/prefetching xul.dll. It also has a placeholder for drawing a
skeleton UI into that window. Note that this is disabled by default based on
a registry value, as there are still kinks to work out (for instance, what
happens if we aren't actually going to display a window, because, say, Firefox
is already running.) This just gives a basic implementation to dogfood, and
facilitates distributing work across multiple contributors.

Onto the details. The patch achieves its goal by creating a window and
assigning its handle to a static variable, which will be consumed inside
nsWindow::Create by the first toplevel window we want to make. nsWindow::Create
will take ownership of the window handle, restyle it to its own liking, and
then proceed as if everything is normal and it had created the window itself.
