This makes the code nicer. In particular, it removes many getter_Copies()
calls. The patch also converts a lot of nsCStrings to nsAutoCString, which will
avoid heap allocation in the common case.
The patch also renames PREF_CopyCharPref() as PREF_GetCStringPref(), because
it's actually getting a string, not a char, and that matches the existing
GetCString() and GetDefaultCString() methods. Correspondingly, it also renames
PREF_SetCharPref() as PREF_SetCStringPref().
The |aPrefName| arguments in nsIPrefBranch.idl remain as |string| because they
almost always involve passing in C string literals, and passing "foo" is much
nicer than passing NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("foo").
It's worth noting that early versions of this patch used |AUTF8String| instead
of |ACString|. But it turns out that libpref stores prefs internally as Latin1.
And |ACString| is compatible with Latin1 but |AUTF8String| isn't, because
non-ASCII Latin1 strings are not valid UTF-8!

These are all easy cases where an nsXPIDLCString local variable is set via
getter_Copies() and then is only used in ways that nsCStrings can also be used
(i.e. no null checks or implicit conversions to |char*|).
In every case the patch trivially replaces the nsXPIDLCString with an
nsCString. (Also, there are a couple of unused nsXPIDLCString variables that
the patch simply removes.)
the protocol proxy service asserts that is in a clean state at dtor -
normally this happens through observe("xpcom-shutdown") but its
actually possible of other events in the xpcom run queue to
'unitialize' things before the dtor.. add a state in which fail codes
are returned instead.

This eliminates some of the pointer math and makes the method a bit safer.
The function's behaviour remains the same as before.

This change renames nsILoadContext::GetIsInBrowserElement to
GetIsInIsolatedMozBrowserElement. Other methods that pass these values around
also have name changes.
Tokens such as "isInBrowserElement" have previously been serialized into cache
keys, used as DB column names, stored in app registries, etc. No changes are
made to any serialization formats. Only runtime method and variable names are
updated.
No behavior changes are made in this patch, so some renamed methods may have
nonsensical implementations. These are corrected in subsequent patches
focused on behavior.

The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
CLOSED TREE makes big refactorings like this a piece of cake.
