There are currently some odd circumstances where we deadlock waiting for the
background save thread to finish while it is blocked on sync dispatch to the
main thread during shutdown.
There were existing workarounds to prevent this, which tried to synchronously
complete the main thread work required by the background thread at the start
of shutdown, and some fallback anti-deadlock assertions to catch any remaining
corner cases, but apparently Fennec has corner cases of its own that we didn't
anticipate.
This patch takes the more straightforward route of using an async shutdown
blocker, which allows the async shutdown service to safely spin the event loop
until the save completes, rather than an independent monitor loop, which does
not.
It also fixes a potential data race where the save thread could clear its
mSaveThread member before NS_NewNamedThread returned, running afoul of
nsCOMPtr sanity checks.

Bug 1514594: Part 3a - Change ChromeUtils.import to return an exports object; not pollute global. r=mccr8
This changes the behavior of ChromeUtils.import() to return an exports object,
rather than a module global, in all cases except when `null` is passed as a
second argument, and changes the default behavior not to pollute the global
scope with the module's exports. Thus, the following code written for the old
model:
ChromeUtils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
is approximately the same as the following, in the new model:
var {Services} = ChromeUtils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
Since the two behaviors are mutually incompatible, this patch will land with a
scripted rewrite to update all existing callers to use the new model rather
than the old.

This patch was autogenerated by my decomponents.py
It covers almost every file with the extension js, jsm, html, py,
xhtml, or xul.
It removes blank lines after removed lines, when the removed lines are
preceded by either blank lines or the start of a new block. The "start
of a new block" is defined fairly hackily: either the line starts with
//, ends with */, ends with {, <
