Kris Maglione 773d32e9fe Bug 1481021: Part 2 - Stop loading SpecialPowers into frame script scopes. r=bz,jmaher,aswan
Loading SpecialPowers into frame scripts has side-effects, detailed in part 1,
which are undesirable. The main side-effect that I'm trying to get rid of here
is the force-enabling of permissive COWs in frame script scopes, which is
blocking changes that I need to make elsewhere. But both that and the scope
pollution it causes are likely to allow code to work when running in
automation which fails in real world usage.

This patch changes our special powers frame scripts to load specialpowers.js
and specialpowersAPI.js as JSMs, which run in their own global, but define
most of the same properties on our frame script globals.

Most other callers still load those scripts via <script> tags or the subscript
loader, and should ideally migrated in a follow-up. But even so, this patch
still gives us a cleaner separation of the frame script and non-frame-script
loading code.
