Because nsAString is nicer to work with than char16_t*. The patch relatedly
changes nsIEmbeddingSiteWindow::title and nsIWindowMediator::updateWindowTitle
as well.
This is straightforward, with only two notable things.
- `#include "nsXPIDLString.h" is replaced with `#include "nsString.h"`
throughout, because all nsXPIDLString.h did was include nsString.h. The
exception is for files which already include nsString.h, in which case the
patch just removes the nsXPIDLString.h inclusion.
- The patch removes the |xpidl_string| gtest, but improves the |voided| test to
cover some of its ground, e.g. testing Adopt(nullptr).
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.

Calling QueryInterface with a statically known IID should typically not
be necessary. In those cases where it's not, the compiler can do the
cast for us, though we have to supply the reference-counting that
QueryInterface would do.
In passing, several redundant null-checks for the result of |new T| have
been deleted.
