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.

use the status of the last request processed in loading the document to determine
success or failure. That's incorrect. Instead, test to see if the load group is being
canceled. If it is, use that as the status for the entire document. Otherwise, ignore
the status for the last request and instead use the status for the main document
(the default load channel).

and a docshell load tye. Unify nsIURILoadCommand and nsIDocShellLoadType enums so they
can be treated as the same type. This allows the uriloader to pass the correct load info
from the docshell that originates the load over to the docshell that actually
ends up loading the url.
