/**
 * PermitUnloader is a parent-process singleton that manages checking to see whether
 * or not <xul:browser> elements would prefer to be unloaded or not.
 *
 * PermitUnloader works by first finding the root nodes of process-contiguous trees
 * of frames. This means that if a document has the following frame structure:
 *
 *                   a
 *                /     \
 *               b        c
 *             /   \    /  \
 *            b    d   c    c
 *                /          \
 *               d            d
 *
 * where each letter represents the process that each frame runs in, then we consider
 * process-contiguous trees of frames to be ones where all frames are directly connected
 * and running in the same process. Process-contiguous subtrees are denoted in the following
 * graph with shared numbers.
 *
 *                   a1
 *                /     \
 *               b2        c3
 *             /    \    /   \
 *            b2    d4  c3   c3
 *                 /          \
 *               d4            d5
 *
 * Specifically, note that the d5 leaf node, while belonging to the same process as the
 * d4 nodes are not directly connected, so it's not process-contiguous.
 *
 * Messaging the roots of these process-contiguous subtrees concurrently allows us to ask
 * each of these subtrees to simultaneously run their permit unload checks in
 * breadth-first order. This appears to be Chromium's algorithm.
