Jan Henning 5ca29b004c Bug 1496684 - Dispatch commonly expected startup notifications when opening a GeckoView window. r=snorp
Once a webextension using a blocking WebRequest listener has started loading,
all network connections covered by the extension's manifest are held until the
extension is ready the process them.
One condition for the extension being ready apparently includes browser startup
having progressed far enough, as signified by "browser-delayed-startup-finished"
having been dispatched.
Therefore, we have to start sending that notification when opening a new Gecko-
View window, too, and copy Fennec's InitLater() system for that.

Unlike Fennec, we cannot tie registration of those InitLater() runnables to the
initial content load having progressed far enough because of
a) e10s, which makes that approach neither easily possible nor really sensible,
   as content will load in a different process in that case, and
b) because we're racing with extension startup here - if extensions are loaded
   quick enough to block even the initial page load, we'd be deadlocked: We
   cannot send the notification until the page finishes loading, but the page
   cannot load until we send the notification. Fennec isn't affected by the
   latter problem because "sessionstore-windows-restored", which Fennec will
   send in any case, serves as an alternative pathway for completing extension
   startup.

And unlike Desktop, we don't really have any chrome content to paint, so we
cannot tie delayed initialisation to a paint listener for that, either.

Therefore, we simply fire off a runnable at the *end* of geckoview.js's
startup() method, which should give more pressing initialisation tasks enough of
a headstart.

For completeness, we're also adding the "browser-idle-startup-tasks-finished"
notification and thereby solve bug 1465832 as well, allowing the ScriptPreloader
to detect which scripts are commonly loaded during GeckoView startup and to
start caching and pre-parsing them.
