Execute a single write transaction per chunk, rather than a larger read/write transaction.
Also removes useless statement scopers when we create a single-use statement.

The titles for the root bookmark folders in the database will now never get updated. This
avoids doing maintenance and changing them if the locale changes.
The UI is now responsible for displaying the correct title.
WebExtensions API will get the UI visible names.

This uses a similar strategy as that employed by moz_places_afterdelete_trigger,
creating a temp table which we write host inserts into, and then deleting all
the rows from it when we're done inserting, effectively resulting in a per-
statement trigger to only do the significant work per host.

This is for the trunk/nightly landing only, and approval was explicitly
requested from #sheriffs to land without tests as a preliminary stop-gap.
Tests and a proper fix will land as part of bug 1389660, but that will be a few
days.
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.)
Makes initing Places services cheaper, by delaying the connection creation to the first time
it's actually needed.
Same way, delays reading the bookmark roots at the first time they are requested.
Deprecates the concept of lazy observers, since they are no more needed, we can just use addObserver.
Simplifies the startup path: always sends "places-init-complete" (both as a category and a topic) when
the connection starts and adds a "locked" database state when we can't get a working connection.
Makes PlacesCategoriesStarter register for the new category, since it's cheaper than being a bookmarks
observer.
Fixes a couple race conditions in keywords and expiration due to new startup timings.
Removes a test in test_keywords.js that is no more easily feasible, since it'd requires a pre-build
places.sqlite that should be kept up-to-date at every version.

Introduce a new SpinningSynchronousClose API that allows to synchronously close
a connection that executed asynchronous statements, by spinning the events loop.
This is expected to be used rarely in particular cases like database corruption.
It is currently [noscript] since the only consumer is cpp, in the future we can
evaluate removing that, if we find more uses for it.

Instead of opening and closing the favicons database at every startup to check whether
it's corrupt, just use the ATTACH DATABASE query result to achieve that.
Also avoid replacing places.sqlite in case of non-fatal errors during the connection
initialization.

This function is arguably nicer than calling NS_ProcessNextEvent
manually, is slightly more efficient, and will enable better auditing
for NS_ProcessNextEvent when we do Quantum DOM scheduling changes.
Don't enforce wal checkpoints during Places startup, since that can possibly cause a deadlock that would
make some early synchronous API calls bailout. That would indeed cause unexpected intermittent failures
in tests.
Regardless, forcing checkpoints like this in modern filesystems is unlikely to add much value, since
the probabilities to lose the whole contents of the journal are very low.
Additionally we have better startup handling of invalid databases, so we should be able to recover in any case.

journal_size_limit doesn't apply to attached databases, so it must be set apart.
Additionally, the current journal_size_limit setting is wrong it should be bytes.
Finally, increase the wal_autocheckpoint value for performance reasons.
Sqlite by default uses a 4MiB autocheckpoint, but we use synchronous=NORMAL, that is a bit more dataloss risky.
For that reason just use half of the default value.
journal_size_limit is set higher than the autocheckpoint value, so that we won't truncate at
every checkpoint.

This patch moves favicons blobs to a separate database names favicons.sqlite.
The dabatase is then ATTACHED to the main Places connection, so that its tables
can be used as if they were all part of the same database.
The favicons.database contains 3 tables:
1. moz_pages_w_icons
This is the way to join with moz_places, through page_url_hash and page_url.
We are not using the place id to avoid possible mismatches between places.sqlite
and favicons.sqlite. This way the database is "portable" and reusable even
if places.sqlite changes.
2. moz_icons
Contains icons payloads, each payload can either be an SVG or a PNG. These
are the only stored formats, any other format is rescaled and converted to
PNG. ICO files are split into single frames and stored as multiple PNGs.
SVG are distinguishable through width == UINT16_MAX
In future the table will also contain mask-icon color for SVG and average
color for PNGs.
The fixed_icon_url_hash is "fixed" to allow quickly fetch root icons, that
means icons like "domain/favicon.ico" that can also be reused for any page
under that domain.
3. moz_icons_to_pages
This is the relation table between icons and pages.
Each page can have multiple icons, each icon can be used by multiple pages.
There is a FOREIGN_KEY constraint between this (child) table and icons
or pages (parents), so that it's not possible to insert non-existing ids
in this table, and if an entry is removed from a parent table, the relation
will be automatically removed from here.
Note though that removing from the relation table won't remove from the
parent tables.
Since the relations are now many-many, it's no more possible to simply join
places with the icons table and obtain a single icon, thus it's suggested that
consumers go through the "page-icon" protocol.
The migration process from the old favicons table is async and interruptible,
it will be restarted along with the favicons service until the temp preference
places.favicons.convertPayloads is set to true.
