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!

This removes about 2/3 of the occurrences of nsXPIDLString in the tree. The
places where nsXPIDLStrings are null-checked are replaced with |rv| checks.
The patch also removes a couple of unused declarations from
nsIStringBundle.idl.
Note that nsStringBundle::GetStringFromNameHelper() was merged into
GetStringFromName(), because they both would have had the same signature.
Most of the names passed to nsIStringBundle::{Get,Format}StringFromUTF8Name
have one of the two following forms:
- a 16-bit C string literal, which is then converted to an 8-bit string in
order for the lookup to occur;
- an 8-bit C string literal converted to a 16-bit string, which is then
converted back to an 8-bit string in order for the lookup to occur.
This patch introduces and uses alternative methods that can take an 8-bit C
string literal, which requires changing some signatures in other methods and
functions. It replaces all C++ uses of the old methods.
The patch also changes the existing {Get,Format}StringFromName() methods so
they take an AUTF8String argument for the name instead of a wstring, because
that's nicer for JS code.
Even though there is a method for C++ code and a different one for JS code,
|binaryname| is used so that the existing method names can be used for the
common case in both languages.
The change reduces the number of NS_ConvertUTF8toUTF16 and
NS_ConvertUTF16toUTF8 conversions while running Speedometer v2 from ~270,000 to
~160,000. (Most of these conversions involved the string
"deprecatedReferrerDirective" in nsCSPParser.cpp.)
There's an antipattern where nsLiteralString is used as an unnecessary intermediary in converting from CharT* to CharT*,
e.g. CallAFunctionThatTakesACharPointer(NS_LITERAL_CSTRING("foo").get());
or
NS_NAMED_LITERAL_STRING(foo, "abc");
CallAFunctionThatTakesACharPointer(foo.get());
This patch rewrites the callsites that can be trivially changed to use char*/char16_t*.
I'd somewhat like to remove nsTLiteralString::get() altogether, but in code that's less straightforward than these examples, get() is useful enough to keep.

This patch makes most Run() declarations in subclasses of nsIRunnable have the
same form: |NS_IMETHOD Run() override|.
As a result of these changes, I had to add |override| to a couple of other
functions to satisfy clang's -Winconsistent-missing-override warning.
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.

This is straightforward mapping of PR_LOG levels to their LogLevel
counterparts:
PR_LOG_ERROR -> LogLevel::Error
PR_LOG_WARNING -> LogLevel::Warning
PR_LOG_WARN -> LogLevel::Warning
PR_LOG_INFO -> LogLevel::Info
PR_LOG_DEBUG -> LogLevel::Debug
PR_LOG_NOTICE -> LogLevel::Debug
PR_LOG_VERBOSE -> LogLevel::Verbose
Instances of PRLogModuleLevel were mapped to a fully qualified
mozilla::LogLevel, instances of PR_LOG levels in #defines were mapped to a
fully qualified mozilla::LogLevel::* level, and all other instances were
mapped to us a shorter format of LogLevel::*.
Bustage for usage of the non-fully qualified LogLevel were fixed by adding
|using mozilla::LogLevel;| where appropriate.
