- Add `envType` to BaseContext.
- Pass an explicit envType to all `registerSchemaAPI` invocations.
- The factories passed to `registerSchemaAPI` will be split up later, so
that content scripts (`content_child`) and addon pages can share
common implementations.
- The factories that implement the addon API will also be split up,
to separate code running in the main process (`addon_parent`) from
code running in a child process (`addon_child`).
- Remove the use of a hardcoded list of `namespaces` from ProxyContext.
Now `envType` is used to specify whether an API should be activated.

Currently there is a tight coupling between registered APIs because they
share the same global scope, and the dependencies between the modules
that use these globals are not explicit. Consequently, it would be
possible for APIs to break when the registered APIs run in separate
processes, because then there are separate global scopes.
To mitigate this issue, this patch isolates the global namespaces of
API registrations in different environments, starting with the "chrome"
process. Content and addon processes will follow later.
A new JSM is introduced to avoid hidden dependencies between ext-*.js
and the script loader. ExtensionUtils.jsm would be a natural choice for
this shared utility method, but cannot be used because its local
`EventEmitter` implementation conflicts with the `EventEmitter` import
in ext-tabs.js.
So, this patch provides isolation of global variables declared through
`globals.XXX = ...`, but does not provide isolation for `Cu.import`-ed
logic. Ideally `Cu.import` should always use its second argument to
prevent inadvertent namespace pollution.

The main motive for this patch is to remove the use of the GlobalManager
global (which was used to see if an extension ID is valid, which was
specifically added in order to create thebrowser_ext_lastError.js test).
To preserve test coverage I implemented a full validation of the
runtime.sendMessage method.
Now the error for a non-existent extension is identical in both the
content script and background pages. Note that this also fixes a
minor privacy leak: Previously extensions could see whether another
extension is installed by sending a message to the specified extension
and using the different responses to see whether another extension is
installed.
