In the flatpak environment the applications do not have access to the printers.
They need to use printing portal implemented by DBUS interface. The patch
implements support for printing portal by introducing nsFlatpakPrintPortal class.
1. it request print portal to show the print dialog
2. waits until print dialog is finished
3. setup observer for 'print-to-file-finished' topic
4. pass file descriptor of the printed file to the portal when the observer is notified

This avoids a lot of mismatches between nsAString and char16_t*, thus removing
many getter_Copies() and ToNewUnicode() and get() calls, and generally making
things simpler.
Note: the patch removes GetDefaultPrinterNameFromGlobalPrinters() by simply
inlining it at its two callsites, which is easy with the changed types.
nsXPIDLStrings are marked as VOIDED upon initialization. Most of these local
nsXPIDLString variables are immediately set via getter_Copies(), which will
either assign a string value (using Adopt()) or do SetIsVoid(). These can be
trivially converted to nsString, which will get the same treatment.
The patch suitably converts the remaining nsXPIDLString local variable as well.
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.)
