Revising nsIChannel to allow for overlapped i/o. This consists of three parts:
1. Factoring nsIChannel into a protocol specific part, the nsIChannel, and a socket specific, the nsITransport.
2. Derive the nsIChannel from a nsIRequest.
2. Changes the notification system from necko and the URILoader to pass the nsIRequest interface instead of nsIChannel interface.
This goal stems from wanting to be able to have active AsyncRead and AsyncWrite operations on nsSocketTransport.
This is desired because it would greatly simplify the task of maintaining persistent/reusable socket connections
for FTP, HTTP, and Imap (and potentially other protocols). The problem with the existing nsIChannel interface is
that it does not allow one to selectively suspend just one of the read or write operations while keeping the other active.

make it so you can view "threads with unread". (#52927)
threaded and unread are no longer mutually exclusive.
later, I'll add "unread threaded" which is no the
same thing as "thread with unread".
fix the nsMsgMessageDataSource() to ask the view, thread or msg database for existance of messages, instead of getting an enumerator for all messages, and seeing if it is non empty. more performance work on the way.
move enums from MailNewsTypes.h to MailNewsTypes2.idl, so that I can use the same ones from JS and C++.

As this changed the generated interface signatures, I had to change all of the uses to avoid bustage. Any corners of the browser that aren't built by default, or that I haven't discovered how to build, may be at risk of bustage if they use string or wstring attributes. (This could mean blackwood; sorry, guys!)
Many thanks to Alec Flett (alecf@netscape.com) for preparing diffs for the mailnews portion of the signature changes; thanks also to Ariel Backenroth (arielb@rice.edu) and Mike Shaver (shaver@mozilla.org) for help with updating the tree with NS_DECL_NSIFOO macros; everwhere where one of these macros was used was one less place I had to manually add 'const'.
Also removed extraneous space from generated method signatures, leftover from Brendan's capitalization spam, and made 'const decl must be of type short or long' an error rather than just a warning.
